Celanese (NYSE: CE) is a large cap company that operates within the chemicals industry. Its market cap is $14 billion today and the total one-year return is 13.81% for shareholders.<\/p>\n

Celanese stock is underperforming the market. It’s beaten down, but it reports earnings soon. So is it a good time to buy? To answer this question we’ve turned to the Investment U Stock Grader. Our research team built this system to diagnose the financial health of a company.<\/p>\n

Our system looks at six key metrics\u2026<\/p>\n

[iu-adbox]<\/p>\n

\u2717 Earnings-per-Share (EPS) Growth: Celanese reported a recent EPS growth rate of 32.74%. That’s below the chemicals industry average of 65.32%. That’s not a good sign. We like to see companies that have higher earnings growth.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Price-to-Earnings (P\/E): The average price-to-earnings ratio of the chemicals industry is 26.60. And Celanese’s ratio comes in at 15.56. It’s trading at a better value than many of its competitors.<\/p>\n

\u2717 Debt-to-Equity: The debt-to-equity ratio for Celanese stock is 110.37%. That’s above the chemicals industry average of 71.82%. That’s not a good sign.<\/p>\n

\u2717 Free Cash Flow per Share Growth: Celanese has decreased its FCF per share over the last year relative to its competitors. That’s not good for investors. In general, if a company is growing its FCF, it will be able to pay down debt, buy back stock, pay out more in dividends and\/or invest money back into the business to help boost growth.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Profit Margins: The profit margin of Celanese comes in at 12.74% today. And generally, the higher, the better. We also like to see this ratio above competitors. Celanese’s profit margin is above the chemicals average of 12.12%. So that’s a positive indicator for investors.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Return on Equity: Return on equity gives us a look at the amount of net income returned to shareholders. The ROE for Celanese is 30.79% and that’s above its industry average ROE of 22.99%.<\/p>\n

Celanese stock passes three of our six key metrics today. That’s why our Investment U Stock Grader gives it a Hold.<\/p>\n
