About Huntsman CORP

Huntsman Corporation is a U.S.-listed specialty chemicals company traded on the NYSE under the ticker HUN. Headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, United States, the company traces its roots to 1970, when Jon Huntsman founded the predecessor business as a packaging company before it evolved into a global chemical platform. Today, Huntsman is organized around three core operating segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, and Advanced Materials. That structure highlights a portfolio focused more on differentiated chemistry and formulation expertise than on pure commodity chemicals. The company’s business model is built around products that are embedded in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. Polyurethanes supplies MDI-based polyurethane systems used in thermal insulation, comfort foams, lightweight automotive solutions, adhesives, coatings and elastomers. Performance Products includes amines, maleic anhydride and carbonates, serving end markets such as energy, transportation, coatings, adhesives, construction and electronics. Advanced Materials develops specialty epoxy, acrylic and polyurethane-based resin systems, along with adhesive products used in aerospace, electrical power transmission, composites, infrastructure and other high-performance applications. From an investor perspective, Huntsman stands out as a global specialty chemicals name with a relatively broad end-market mix, technical know-how and an established international footprint. The company positions itself in several leading product categories and serves customers across a wide set of downstream industries. Its manufacturing and R&D network is global, with more than 55 manufacturing, R&D and operations facilities in roughly 25 countries and about 6,000 employees in its continuing operations. Recent developments underscore both cyclicality and resilience. On April 30, 2026, Huntsman reported first-quarter 2026 results and highlighted a volatile backdrop driven by higher feedstock and energy costs tied to Middle East disruption, while also noting year-on-year volume improvement in Polyurethanes and more than 10% revenue growth in Advanced Materials, supported by aerospace demand. The company also announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0875 per share on April 30, 2026. In addition, Huntsman disclosed a new $800 million secured revolving credit facility in February 2026, which points to active balance-sheet management and liquidity planning. Overall, Huntsman remains a niche chemicals and materials company with global reach, technical differentiation and exposure to cyclical industrial demand, but with products that are often tied to higher-value applications and recurring replacement needs.
