Avient: Stable Is Good Enough For This Specialty Play At Current Levels
Avient's more stable performance and undemanding valuation make shares appealing, despite lackluster operating momentum and recent underperformance versus the broader market. The company maintains guidance and offers a 3.3% dividend yield, with leverage ratios improving and a reasonable 12x adjusted earnings multiple. Minimal direct tariff impact and local sourcing provide comfort in a choppy macro environment, while investors are paid to wait via dividends and earnings yield.
