Target cut reflects operating pressure

The BofA action followed a difficult second quarter for the chemical producer. Olin reported USD 1.74 billion in revenue and a USD 0.12 loss per share for the second quarter of 2026, compared with analyst expectations for earnings of USD 0.13 per share, according to MarketBeat.

October reporting date matters

Price and reporting date
