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
One of the themes that is starting to play out is materials, and chemicals would be included in this. This company has lots of opportunity. The economy is growing nicely and their business is improving. You get a very nice 3% dividend. If the US economy continues to perform, the stock is going to do well. It recently pulled back to $63, which is a great opportunity to buy it.
