Huntsman Corp (HUN)

Massive positive influx on cash reserves last quarter. Assets and longterm liabilities are sounds. Stockholder equity per share is at a nice ratio. Looks like it could be another recovery giant.

I checked out what they specialize in and they remind me of how diverse Alcoa is in their products and services. These companies can take an undeserving stock price beating during a recession.

Stock screener pick

Good fundamentals and strong value for recovery.

Truely like everything about Huntsman. They have been aggressively expanding their business across the world and will be in all the right places when the global economy turns. Nice dividend as well.

Hey, a stock that was in the $25 range 2-years ago is now selling for $8.70. This stock has rebounded nicely in the last 3-months and with the economy working to recover, I only see more of a need for what this company can offer. It has a 6% growth in sales, and a recent income growth of 3,990% according to MSN....as it's taking a little dip right now...it looks like a good time to grab some.

If we come out ... will be great for infrastructure

Dividend yield 4.3%, stock price still down substantially over 52-week period (about 30% from 52-week high), P/E is only 3.75, has a really rough 1st quarter but bounced back nicely in 2nd quarter - expecting to get back to profitability in 2010 - and guess what will be higher then? Yeah, the stock price.

Materials should perform well on the way out of a recession

chemical production will increase as economy improves.good dividend but,not great.

this should work. :)

Seems very cheap -- excellent dividend and good management; this sector should rebound stongly when economy picks up

Long Term Buy

Vastly underrated. 40% insider owned. Div is for real. Company has the right approach. Marvelous array of industrial chemicals and adhesives. This is real value.

Because I said so. And because it's dirt cheap and generating lots of cash flow.

We still need the chemicals it produces

insider buying

strong cash position, cheap debt. good market, good dividend. i'm bullish on "commodity chemical products," as MF notes, and this company is cheap.
