Eastman Chemical Co is currently not a strong buy. The stock is priced at $62.69, with a low RSI of 26.39 indicating oversold conditions, but the forward P/E ratio of 9.20 suggests it may be undervalued. However, recent analyst downgrades have lowered price targets significantly, with UBS reducing its target from $92 to $77, indicating concerns about future performance. The main risk is the company's declining gross margin, which has fallen to 22.20% in Q2 2026 from 24.68% in Q4 2024, reflecting pressure on profitability.
