Stock Track02-04 22:32

Cabot's stock price surged 5.22% during intraday trading on Wednesday, showing significant investor interest in the specialty chemicals company.

The movement follows the company's release of its first-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings report, which presented mixed results. While adjusted earnings per share decreased by 13% year-over-year to $1.53 and the Reinforcement Materials segment EBIT fell 22%, the Performance Chemicals segment showed improvement with a 7% increase in EBIT.

Investors appear to be focusing on a strategic development announced alongside the earnings: Cabot signed a multi-year supply agreement with PowerCo SE to provide conductive carbons and dispersions for lithium-ion battery applications. This agreement positions the company in the growing electric vehicle battery supply chain, potentially offsetting concerns about weaker performance in other segments.
