Outperform

Reason

Mizuho analyst John Roberts raised the firm's price target on Ashland to $70 from $60 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares as part of its 2026 outlook for the chemicals, agriculture and packaging sector. China's increased exports are weighing on most basic chemical markets, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason

Wells Fargo analyst Michael Sison lowered the firm's price target on Ashland to $52 from $53 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. While chemical earnings will likely sit at trough-like levels through the first half of 2026 or until Fed rate cuts spark a recovery in housing and industrial demand, the firm continues to favor higher quality names trading near commodity multiples.

Equal Weight

Reason

Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of Ashland with an Equal Weight rating and $60 price target. The shares are inexpensive relative to historical multiples following a prolonged turnaround, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, the firm's enthusiasm for the shares is limited by a lack of catalysts for a positive near-term inflection. It wants to see Ashland deliver more consistent results versus consensus estimates.
