Huntsman Corp. (HUN) Stock on a Slide, Here’s the Potential Cause

Huntsman Corp. (HUN), a company that manufactures and sells differentiated organic chemical products worldwide, has plunged 22.12% in aftermarket trading session. Consequently, HUN stock is trading at $26.20 at the time of the writing. The slide could potentially be attributed to the review of strategic options for the textile effect. On Tuesday, HUN closed the day at $33.64 after a slight increase of 0.18% during regular trading hours.

Why HUN Plunging?

On Tuesday, HUN announced a review of strategic options for its Textile Effects Division. Alongside that, it also announced a multi-year compensation plan designed to align the incentives of the Company’s management team with the targets presented at the Company’s Investor Day in November. The Board of Directors of the company had authorized management to conduct a strategic review of the Textile Effects Division. The review will begin in Q1 2022. The Board of Directors also authorized management of the Company to implement a multi-year compensation plan for all Officers and Vice Presidents. The company has designed this plan to align with the interests of all shareholders and with the targets presented on the investors’ day.
