Seaport Research analyst Michael Harrison upgraded Ashland to Buy from Neutral with a $75 price target. The company reported weaker than expected Q2 and reduced its fiscal 2026 guidance, but should gain earnings momentum into fiscal 2027, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Seaport believes Ashland is \"turning a corner on fundamentals\" as the shares are trading near historical lows, with activism as a potential catalyst.
