Westlake Corporation is a global manufacturer and marketer of both housing and infrastructure products and performance and essential materials that are designed to enhance the lives of people every day.

The HIP segment is primarily comprised of residential and non-residential building products, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and fittings, and compound products made from PVC and other polymers. The PEM segment includes Westlake North American Chlorovinyls, Westlake European & Asian Chlorovinyls, Westlake Olefins and Polyethylene and Westlake Epoxy.

Westlake Corp is currently not a strong buy due to mixed analyst ratings and recent performance trends. The current price is $63.33, which is significantly below the 200-day moving average of $87.23, indicating potential downward pressure. Although the company reported a Q2 2026 non-GAAP EPS of $2.01, exceeding estimates, the forward P/E ratio is 14.99, suggesting that the stock may not be undervalued. The main risk is the declining demand for PVC, as indicated by Citi's downgrade and the 21% drop in PVC prices since March.
