Three U.S. Mining Stocks Set to Benefit from the Electric Vehicle Boom

Over the past six months, Eastman Chemical’s stock price has risen by 12%, and by 19.5% over the past year. Its latest share price at the time of writing was USD 98.01. Financial Performance In Q2 2024, Eastman Chemical’s sales revenue increased 1.7% year-on-year to USD 2.36 billion. Its adjusted EBIT also rose 5.1% year-on-year to USD 353 million. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) increased 8% year-on-year to USD 2.15. Wall Street Analysts’ Views Wall Street analysts expect Eastman Chemical’s revenue to grow 4.8% year-on-year to USD 2.38 billion in Q3 2024. They also project EPS of USD 2.13, representing a 45.1% increase year-on-year. This optimism stems from the fact that Eastman Chemical has exceeded Wall Street’s EPS estimates in each of the past four consecutive quarters. Potential Risks Facing Eastman Chemical Stock Mengshou Finance believes Eastman Chemical’s stock may face the following potential risks: (1) Raw Material Price Volatility Risk: Raw material costs in the chemical industry are heavily influenced by crude oil prices; thus, any fluctuations in the crude oil market could directly affect Eastman Chemical’s production costs and profit margins—and consequently its stock price. (2) Weak Demand Risk: Slowing global economic growth or declining demand in specific markets—such as construction and automotive sectors—could reduce demand for Eastman Chemical’s products, thereby impacting its sales and profitability. (3) Environmental Regulation Pressure Risk: As global attention to environmental protection and sustainable development intensifies, stricter environmental regulations may raise Eastman Chemical’s operating costs and restrict production of certain products. (4) International Trade Policy and Tariff Risk: Changes in global trade policies—especially tariff increases—could affect Eastman Chemical’s export business, raising costs or diminishing its competitiveness in international markets. (5) Competitive Intensity and Product Innovation Risk: The chemical industry is highly competitive; Eastman Chemical must continuously innovate and improve its products to maintain its market position. Falling behind competitors in new product development could lead to loss of market share. (6) Supply Chain Disruption Risk: Any disruption to global supply chains—including raw material shortages or transportation bottlenecks—could impair Eastman Chemical’s production and sales. (7) Workplace Safety and Accident Risk: The chemical industry carries numerous inherent safety hazards; any production accident could inflict significant financial and reputational damage on Eastman Chemical. (8) Technological Change Risk: Emergence of new technologies could disrupt existing products and markets. If Eastman Chemical fails to adapt promptly to such changes, it risks falling behind and being overtaken by competitors. III. Glencore Company Overview Glencore is one of the world’s largest commodity trading firms, active across metals and mining, energy products, and agricultural commodities. Its marketing business provides procurement, logistics, transportation, storage, and financing services to global commodity producers and consumers. Core exposure lies in thermal coal, metallurgical coal, copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, and ferroalloys production. Unlike other major miners, Glencore plans to continue producing thermal coal until its mines are fully depleted, believing it preferable for Western-listed companies to own these assets and rehabilitate them according to Western standards. In July 2024, Glencore acquired 77% of Teck’s metallurgical coal business, further expanding its exposure to metallurgical coal.
