Cabot Guides FY26 Adj EPS $6.15-$6.45, Setting Initial Benchmark
CBT sits 54% above its 52-week low of $58.33.
Summary
Cabot initiated FY26 adjusted EPS guidance of $6.15 to $6.45, providing the first official profit outlook for the fiscal year. This follows a period of restructuring, including plant closures in Argentina and the Netherlands announced in May, and a leadership transition with the CEO retiring in September. The guidance gives investors a concrete earnings framework against which to measure the company's turnaround progress. With shares at $89.58, the midpoint implies a forward P/E of roughly 14x, a valuation that will be tested as the restructuring benefits materialize.
