DON'T BUY
Chemical companies are industrials, and industrials do poorly during recessions. Shipments are down 14%, so earnings will struggle. 7x earnings. Dividend hasn't grown in last 5 years, so higher inflation wipes out your income. Yield is unattractive at 5.6%, which is only high because stock price has come down. Instead, he owns DHR and TMO.

WEAK BUY
Hope that it rises from the ashes as AT&T did?
Not sure it's going to rally the way AT&T did. Very different sectors. In his modelling, he's been in accumulation mode. Likes it at these levels on a risk/return basis, screens well for value. High yield is probably a risk factor at this point. Not a lot of upside potential to analysts' price target.
(Analysts’ price target is $32.00)
chemicals
The chemical sector over the last few years has been the best place in basic materials. The low price of natural gas has helped. When the markets corrected, all chemical stocks sold off, found lows and tested them twice. This one is behaving quite well. The market is voting that this is one of the places you could see a good recovery.
