What drove the change

  • In elastomers, synthetic rubber sales and profit fell as selling prices followed raw material costs down and overseas demand stayed weak
  • In specialty materials, demand grew for optical film used in large TVs, battery materials for energy storage systems, and electronic materials tied to AI-related chip investment
  • Lower SG&A and other cost cuts let the latex and chemicals businesses raise profit even as their sales fell

Things to watch

  • At year-end, the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted supply chains, leaving the outlook unclear
  • Elastomer costs depend heavily on crude oil and naphtha prices, and sharp spikes may not be fully passed on to customers
  • Currency swings or a downturn in key markets could weigh on sales and profit
