Their plan to make chemicals from coal gasification technology is not viable as long as natural gas prices are low. Cost of new technology exceeds current market value of company.

4/2/09 Pitch: Downthumb. Earnings 4/23/09. Well off of lows based on cost cutting measures. Unlikely to be enough. Being severely affected in top line by recession. Large negative free cash flow.

EMN is undervalued when compared to total market. It took a bigger hit than it should have in the market collapse.

Chemicals will be one of the fisrt to make a run when product production returns. This one slow and solid.

One of the leading players in gassification technology. Due to their knowledge of this technology, Eastman has the ability to significantly get around the chemical commodity dependence on oil, and obtain alternative feedstocks as necessary. I see this as being a huge competitive advantage in the coming future. Add to that their stock and debt buyback program, the company seems solid.
Overall, I think Eastman will provide a pretty good return on investment over the next decade.

Eastman Chemical is involved in the coal gasification process and is always recommended on "Fast Money" by Pete Najarian. They pay a dividend, but the real story is coal gasification. Ethanol has been a bust, and our country needs to keep the flow of dollars within the US by eliminating our dependence on foreign oil. Eastman is a buy for the long term.

EMN will most likely maintain an outperform trend for a few weeks. Due to pay a dividend within a few weeks and since it has pulled back some today, I think it has some room for an upswing over the next few weeks.

Product commidizing ... squeezing margins and ROIC

Chemicals and plastics both depend on oil and other feed stocks. When those prices increase, the price of the products must follow, often impacting sales, especially in weak economic times. I'm thinking the price per share will continue to decrease as the price of oil increases or least until this year's heating oil season is over. I'll watch this one until next quarter.

Recent acquisition impact might restrict growth in the short run, but added resource assets should help it to grow over the long run.
