Factors at Play in Q3
The company is likely to have benefited, in the third quarter, from strong demand for polymers in packaging in the Olefins & Polyolefins — Americas unit. Performance in the Olefins & Polyolefins — EAI unit is expected to have been impacted by softer demand. Pandemic-related lockdowns in China might have also affected results in the quarter.
Margins in the Intermediates and Derivatives segment are likely to have hurt in the third quarter on weaker demand for durable goods. The recovery in the automotive market is expected to have supported results in the Advanced Polymer Solutions segment. The Refining segment is likely to have benefited from higher demand for transportation fuels.
The company is also expected to have witnessed headwinds stemming from higher feedstock and energy costs in the September quarter. Tight supply has led to a spike in energy costs, especially in Europe. Higher associated costs are expected to have exerted pressure on margins in the third quarter.
