Research and education only — not financial advice. EDGAR is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer and gives no personalized advice. Every call is impersonal — identical for all users, generated on a schedule from SEC filings plus a delayed/third-party price feed — may be wrong or out of date, and is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. The operator and an affiliated trading operation may hold or trade the securities EDGAR rates; see Disclosures. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Do your own research.
The fundamentals carry the rating, but the price is rich (~40% above our fair-value estimate) — a quality-at-a-price call. The case rests on the business, not the entry; patient buyers may wait for a pullback.
Cabot is a global specialty-chemicals company (reinforcement materials/carbon black, performance chemicals, and battery/energy materials) with a resilient, cash-generative franchise. FY2025 revenue fell 7.0% to $3.71B and net income declined 12.9% to $331M (EPS -10.4% to $6.02), but the more telling number is operating income, which actually rose 1.1% to $621M — meaning the revenue drop was largely lower raw-material/feedstock prices passed through, not volume or margin collapse. Operating margin expanded to 16.7% and ROE is an impressive 21.4%, well above typical commodity chemicals.
