DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $CE--CELANESE ANNOUNCES PRICE INCREASES ACROSS THE ACETYL CHAIN.

Celanese NYSE: CE executives said the company is prioritizing cash generation and operational flexibility as weak end-market demand continues, while supply chain disruptions are creating near-term opportunities in parts of its acetyls business.

Celanese remains a buy despite Q1 '26 earnings miss and macro-driven selloff, trading at under 10x earnings with a 9–10% free cash flow yield. CE's cost structure is improving through strategic asset closures, product mix upgrades, and targeted expansion in higher-margin specialty markets. Management guides for significant EPS recovery in Q2 and H2'26, assuming supply chain normalization post-Strait of Hormuz disruptions.
