Jefferies Comments On Implications To Huntsman Of EPA Actions

According to Jefferies, Huntsman HUN is taking notice as EPA takes action on MDI, TDI. Jefferies reported that as part of a broader effort begun last year to review roughly 80,000 chemicals, the EPA has announced action plans to address the use of MDI in the U.S. “This announcement follows a series of recent toxicity studies and could be viewed as an incremental negative for sentiment on Huntsman, but we expect a negligible impact to volumes in through at least 2015.” Huntsman closed yesterday at $18.67.
