Cabot: Uphill Battle Remains Following Q2 Earnings Release
Downgraded Cabot Corporation to 'Hold' due to muted growth and poor near-term EPS revisions; Q1 report confirmed growth concerns and tire production uncertainty. Shares dropped over 15% post-Q1 earnings miss; despite recent Q2 earnings beat, full-year EPS guidance was lowered due to tariff uncertainty. Dividend increased by 5% and ongoing share buybacks may mask underlying issues; technical indicators show ultra-oversold conditions but weakening bearish momentum.
