- Tuesday, May 28, 1:18 PM Shares of Ashland (ASH +0.7%) have rallied ~15% since Jana Partners disclosed a 7.4% active stake — and the stock still trades "at a cheaper multiple to this year's projected profit" than its peers, Bloomberg notes. In fact, analysts say ASH is worth around $110/share on a sum of the parts basis, value Deutsche Bank thinks Jana can help unlock. Assets the company could potentially sell include the water-treatment chemicals business according to Argus, and the resins business according to Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co. 1 Comment
- Wednesday, May 15, 9:29 AM Ashland (ASH) raises its quarterly dividend by more than 50% while also authorizing a new share buyback program of $600M, nearly double the amount remaining under the prior buyback authorization unveiled in 2011. Jana Partners had said ASH's shares were undervalued when it picked up a 7.4% stake last month. 1 Comment [Commodities]
- Wednesday, April 24, 11:12 AM More on Ashland's (ASH -0.3%) Q2: CEO James O'Brien says the company likely won't meet EPS or EBITDA targets set in 2011 when a plan to boost profitability was unveiled. "The reality is that some of those expectations have not materialized," O'Brien notes. Comment! [Earnings]
- Wednesday, April 24, 6:20 AM Ashland (ASH): FQ2 EPS of $1.78 beats by $0.23. Revenue of $2.0B (-5% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

- Tuesday, April 16, 11:53 AM Jefferies analyst Laurence Alexander raises his price target on Ashland (ASH +1.1%) to $104 just a little more than two weeks after lowering his price target on the shares to $92 from $97. Asset divestitures "will probably take longer than investors expect," Alexander says (partly because of weak end-market demand), but "even small steps could help shrink the discount." Some say the addition of Jana Partners to the mix may hasten the pace of asset sales. Comment!

Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 27, 3:59 PM Jefferies cuts its 2013 and 2014 earnings outlook on Ashland (ASH -3%), citing weaker end-market demand prospects that could affect growth and the timing of any divestitures. Deutsche Bank says ASH's expected FQ2 earnings shortfall has eroded investor goodwill, proving the business "less resilient than we thought." Both firms maintained Buy ratings but cut price targets. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, January 29, 3:15 PM A major factor in Ashland's (ASH -6.3%) earnings miss was a dramatic price drop of straight guar, which soared in value early last year due to demand from energy firms using it in fracking. But the bubble burst after a demand surge pushed prices to $27K/ton in May, and the ingredient fetched only $7K/ton by December. "The inventory issue with straight guar is now behind us," CEO James O'Brien says. 1 Comment [Commodities, Energy, Earnings, On the Move]

- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 2:30 PM Ashland (ASH +3.8%) shares power higher after the company reveals at its Analyst Day projections for FY 2014 EBITDA of $1.7B vs. analyst consensus estimate of $1.57B and EPS of $9.50-$10.50 vs. consensus of $8.94. ASH expects strong sales growth in Q1, but wind markets remain depressed due to protracted softness in Europe and slow recovery in China. 2 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
