CFRA has maintained a Hold opinion on Eastman Chemical Company (EMN) and raised its 12-month target price by $7 to $78. The valuation is based on a 12.2x multiple of the 2026 EPS estimate of $6.35. EMN's Q1 adjusted EPS was $1.09, down from $1.91 a year ago, missing estimates but beating consensus. Sales fell 5% to $2.177B due to inventory destocking and weak demand. The company implemented $500M in price increases to combat inflation and aims for $125M-$150M in cost savings for 2026.
