- The AXLL merger is on track to close in September
- Creating momentum for its chlor-alkali
- Financial carefulness along with the strong management
- Possible IRS resolutions.
The most important factor is that the analyst expects the near-term pricing momentum on polyethylene to likely add $0.05/lb for September. The last point is the ethane environment, which the analyst believes are good for the longer-term.
In their research note, RBC said, "We believe if producers continue to delay/cancel USGC ethylene projects over the next 4 years, it could help sustain higher ethane rejections, resulting in lower for longer ethane. Per our proprietary NGL consumption model, we estimate WLK has the highest leverage to ethane ($0.10/gal change in ethane prices is ~20% of EPS, relative to other players at 5-10%)."
The brokerage believes Westlake Chemical is a way to play based on the increasing PE prices in the near-term. The analyst expects the company to maximize its fresh assets so as to get the maximum $100 million synergy target.
The stock advanced $1.74, or 3.48 percent, to $52.40 on Tuesday.
