Cabot Corporation: Successful Returns, Downgrading Into 2027-2028E (Downgrade)
Cabot Corporation is now fairly valued after a period of significant undervaluation and strong operational outperformance. I downgrade CBT to Hold with a new price target of $82/share, as the current upside is limited following a 20-30% rally.
