We are also getting optimistic about the Performance Polymer business, where Eastman has reversed losses. We are positive on the company s plans of divesting its PET business under the segment. We upgrade Eastman to Outperform from the previous Neutral recommendation and raise our target price to $77.00 from the initial $58.00.
