Olin's stock plummeted 9.83% during intraday trading on Friday, continuing a downward trend that began after the company released disappointing financial results.
The chemical and ammunition maker reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $67.7 million, falling short of the $74.3 million consensus estimate, while posting a loss of $0.75 per share compared to analyst expectations. Adding to investor concerns, the company provided guidance indicating it expects first-quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be lower than fourth-quarter 2025 levels.
Olin cited continued market headwinds including customer destocking and operational challenges, particularly impacting its Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls segment. The negative sentiment was further reinforced by Mizuho lowering its price target on Olin to $22 from $23 while maintaining a Neutral rating on the shares.
