Forward Guidance
The power of our business portfolio is providing resilience during the third quarter with continued strength in demand from packaging markets and favorable margins for our oxyfuels and refined products. Moderating demand and elevated costs for feedstocks and energy are likely to compress margins across most of the company's businesses in the third quarter.
Positive Outlook
- Continued strength in demand from packaging markets
- Favorable margins for oxyfuels
- Favorable margins for refined products
- Potential benefits from China's reopening could provide tailwinds for our businesses toward the end of 2022
- New propylene oxide capacity will provide a meaningful addition to our earnings starting in 2023
Challenges Ahead
- Moderating demand
- Elevated costs for feedstocks
- Elevated costs for energy
- Likely to compress margins across most of the company's businesses
