The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- CE closes above its 50-day average ($46.36) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($51.64): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $46.49, CE is 34.2% below its 1-year high of $70.70, set on May 5, 2026, and 32.3% above its 1-year low of $35.13 (November 18, 2025).
- Over the past month CE rose 3.7%, from $44.81 to $46.49.
- CE trades at 18.8x its last twelve months of earnings and 7.5x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 149.4% higher.
- CE's 30-day volatility, 31.1% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.0%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.71: over five years of monthly returns, CE moved about 0.71% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $46.36 (−0.3%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 11.4% to cross the 200-day at $51.64.
- A close above $70.70 (+52.1%) would be a new 1-year high; below $35.13 (−24.4%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for CE, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under chemicals among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
