NORTHBROOK, Ill., April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stepan Company (NYSE: SCL) will issue its first quarter 2026 earnings results on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 at approximately 7:00 a.m.
SG Americas Securities LLC grew its holdings in shares of Stepan Company (NYSE: SCL) by 166.8% during the fourth quarter, according to the company in its most recent disclosure with the SEC. The fund owned 46,410 shares of the basic materials company's stock after buying an additional 29,017 shares during the quarter. SG
Stepan Company (SCL) is reaffirmed as a 'buy' due to compelling valuation and significant cost-saving initiatives. SCL's Project Catalyst targets $100M in pre-tax savings over two years, with 60% expected in the current year. Despite mixed profitability and cash flow, SCL remains attractively priced versus peers, especially on cash flow metrics.
Stepan Company remains a 'BUY' with a lowered fair value estimate of $85/share and a price target of $71/share, reflecting increased market uncertainty. SCL's 2025 results show early signs of operational recovery—6% EBITDA growth, reduced net debt, and positive FCF in 4Q25—driven by asset rationalization and cost savings. 2026E forecasts nearly double AEPS versus 2025, with 47% growth expected, but much of this upside appears priced in after the recent share price surge.
Dividend King stocks are surprisingly cheap across the board because most investors are still heavily leaning on growth stocks.
