Shares of Huntsman Corporation (HUN) surged 6.47% in after-hours trading on Thursday, following the release of the company's third-quarter 2025 financial results that surpassed analysts' expectations in key areas.

The chemical manufacturing company reported Q3 adjusted EBITDA of $94 million, significantly outperforming the IBES estimate of $72.7 million. Additionally, Huntsman's adjusted net loss of $5 million for the quarter was considerably narrower than the expected loss of $21.9 million projected by analysts. These better-than-anticipated results appear to be the primary driver behind the stock's post-market rally.

While Huntsman's Q3 revenue of $1,460 million fell just short of the $1,461 million IBES estimate, investors seemed to focus more on the company's profitability metrics. The firm's ability to exceed earnings expectations in a challenging economic environment may have bolstered investor confidence in Huntsman's operational efficiency and cost management strategies. As the market digests these results, traders will be keen to see if this after-hours momentum carries into the next regular trading session.
