Shares of Orion Engineered Carbons SA (OEC) plummeted 11.13% during Thursday's intraday trading, following a series of target price cuts by major financial institutions. The significant drop comes after the stock had already shown weakness in pre-market trading, falling 5.52% as investors reacted to the downgrades.
Two prominent analysts revised their outlook on Orion Engineered Carbons. Mizuho lowered its target price from $13 to $12, while UBS reduced its target from $18 to $17. These downgrades signal a more cautious stance on the company's near-term prospects, contributing to the negative sentiment surrounding the stock.
The sharp decline in Orion Engineered Carbons' stock price reflects growing investor concerns about the company's future performance. As the market digests these analyst actions, it remains to be seen whether the stock can recover from this significant setback or if the downward pressure will persist in the coming trading sessions.
