Key Considerations

• 📊 Fortune's World's Most Admired recognition for the 18th year in a row points to a culture and reputation that some long term holders may view as supportive of brand strength.
• 📊 You may want to watch how this perception aligns with financial metrics such as the current P/E of 19.8 versus the chemicals industry average of 25.5 and the analyst target range of $109 to $130.
