Latest OLN news and sentiment

KeyBanc has initiated coverage on Olin Corp. (NYSE:OLN) with an Overweight rating and a $26 price target, citing potential benefits from its pending merger with Huntsman Corp. The firm believes the merger will accelerate earnings recovery through synergy realizations, estimating a net present value of $1.5 billion in synergies. Despite recent disappointing financial results for Olin, KeyBanc sees the stock as undervalued and well-positioned for recovery due to its exposure to chlor-alkali and ammunition markets.
