As of October 19, 2026, Huntsman Corporation scores 3.2 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of low quality. Scores this low usually reflect thin margins, a stretched balance sheet or an erratic record, and the pillars below show which. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Huntsman Corporation’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Ranked with the 77 Materials companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 36th percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. A typical company in the group scores 4.4, and the best quarter starts from 6.2. Huntsman Corporation is below that typical reading.
Profitability scores 0.8 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 74 Materials companies is 4.4, so Huntsman Corporation is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 18th percentile. Weak profitability means the business converts less of its sales and capital into profit than its peers, which can come from thin pricing power, high costs or a temporary squeeze.
On solvency, Huntsman Corporation scores 3.6, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 66 Materials companies, which places it well below them, at the 18th percentile. Weak solvency means debt is heavy relative to earnings or cash flow, which makes the business more sensitive to interest rates and to any fall in profits.
Growth scores 5.5 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 57 Materials companies is 3.2, so Huntsman Corporation is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 76th percentile. A middling growth reading is typical of a mature company whose next step depends on reinvestment rather than on its market growing for it.
Efficiency scores 3.5 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 71 Materials companies is 5.2, so Huntsman Corporation is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 26th percentile. Weak efficiency means more capital is tied up to produce each unit of output, or less of reported profit is arriving as cash.
Huntsman Corporation’s predictability score is 3.4 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.5 among 76 Materials companies, that is below the group and the 36th percentile. Weak predictability means revenue or earnings have swung widely from year to year, so any single year’s figures are a less reliable guide.
The gap between Huntsman Corporation’s best and worst pillar is wide: growth at 5.5 against profitability at 0.8, 4.7 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with growth is attractive as long as the expansion is earning a decent return. Weak profitability can be cyclical, so it helps to know whether margins are at a low point or a long-run level.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is profitability. If it rose to the median of Materials companies, 4.4, Huntsman Corporation’s overall score would go from 3.2 to about 4.1. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Huntsman Corporation has a reading on every pillar.
For a fair comparison, start with companies of a similar size: the Materials companies below are nearest to Huntsman Corporation by market value, each scored on the same pillars.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
