Huntsman updates outlook after Rotterdam facility outage

HOUSTON - Huntsman Corporation (NYSE:HUN) announced Monday it is experiencing an unplanned outage at its Polyurethanes facility in Rotterdam, Netherlands, which is expected to negatively impact its fourth quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA by approximately $10 million. The stock has shown strong momentum recently with an 18% return over the past week, despite nine analysts revising their earnings expectations downward according to InvestingPro data.

The chemical manufacturer reported that the larger of its two MDI production lines at the facility is affected and is projected to resume operations by mid-December.

As a result of the disruption, Huntsman now expects its fourth quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA to be at the low end of the previously communicated range of $25 million to $50 million, which was initially provided on November 6, 2025.

The company indicated that excluding the impact of the outage, quarterly performance is trending in line with prior expectations.Want deeper insights into Huntsman’s financial health?
