Stepan Co. (SCL) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.48 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.36 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.03 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +33.33%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this specialty chemicals company would post earnings of $0.92 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.52, delivering a surprise of -43.48%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Stepan Co., which belongs to the Zacks Chemical - Diversified industry, posted revenues of $590.28 million for the quarter ended September 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.56%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $546.84 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Stepan Co. shares have lost about 31.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 17.2%.
What's Next for Stepan Co.?
While Stepan Co. has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Stepan Co. was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.42 on $577.4 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.14 on $2.35 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Chemical - Diversified is currently in the bottom 7% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Albemarle (ALB), is yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2025. The results are expected to be released on November 5.
This specialty chemicals company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.92 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +40.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 11.9% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
Albemarle's revenues are expected to be $1.29 billion, down 4.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Albemarle To Sell Controlling Stake In Ketjen's Refining Catalyst Solutions Business To KPS Capital

Key Points
The long-term supply-demand picture should be favorable for critical minerals and rare-earth elements, which should help boost stock prices of select companies.
Mining stocks are particularly risky due to the very high cost and long process of developing and expanding mines.
Buying an exchange-traded fund (ETF) can be a less risky way to gain exposure to critical minerals and rare-earth elements relative to buying individual stocks.
There are good reasons to want to invest in critical minerals and rare-earth elements, which are a subset of critical minerals. Demand for these substances -- which are considered vital to the United States' economic and national security interests -- should continue to increase. (There are 50 minerals on the U.S. critical minerals list, and 54 on a draft for an updated list, and there are 17 rare-earth elements.)
These substances are needed in the manufacturing of many high-growth, advanced technologies, including semiconductors, electric vehicles (EVs), and renewable energy, and by the defense industry.
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue »
The U.S. does not have a dependable supply chain for these minerals, which are largely mined and processed in China. And China has banned or restricted the export of some of these minerals to the U.S. So, the U.S. government is spending some big bucks to develop a more dependable critical minerals supply chain.
The Trump administration has even bought a stake in several publicly traded U.S. companies it considers essential to the nation's national security. This includes three critical minerals companies -- Lithium Americas, Trilogy Metals, and rare-earth elements company MP Materials (NYSE: MP) -- along with semiconductor maker Intel.
Why buy a critical minerals and rare earths ETF over individual stocks?
Mining stocks are particularly risky due to the very high cost and long process of developing and expanding mines. Buying an exchange-traded fund (ETF) can be a less risky way to gain exposure to critical minerals and rare-earth elements relative to buying individual stocks.
That said, another way to use ETFs is to review their holdings to help scout for potentially attractive individual stocks in select industries.

Friday's ETF Movers: LIT, TPYP

Albemarle (ALB) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, ALB crossed above the 20-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.
A well-liked tool among traders, the 20-day simple moving average offers a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period. This is very beneficial to short-term traders, as it smooths out short-term price trends and gives more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.
Similar to other SMAs, if a stock's price moves above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive, while price falling below the moving average can signal a downward trend.
Over the past four weeks, ALB has gained 14.8%. The company is currently ranked a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), another strong indication the stock could move even higher.
The bullish case solidifies once investors consider ALB's positive earnings estimate revisions. No estimate has gone lower in the past two months for the current fiscal year, compared to 6 higher, while the consensus estimate has increased too.
Investors should think about putting ALB on their watchlist given the ultra-important technical indicator and positive move in earnings estimate revisions.
Zacks Names #1 Semiconductor Stock
This under-the-radar company specializes in semiconductor products that titans like NVIDIA don't build. It's uniquely positioned to take advantage of the next growth stage of this market. And it's just beginning to enter the spotlight, which is exactly where you want to be.
With strong earnings growth and an expanding customer base, it's positioned to feed the rampant demand for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Internet of Things. Global semiconductor manufacturing is projected to explode from $452 billion in 2021 to $971 billion by 2028.

Albemarle (ALB) Crossed Above the 20-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors

Investors in Albemarle Corp. (Symbol: ALB) saw new options begin trading today, for the December 5th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ALB options chain for the new December 5th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $90.00 strike price has a current bid of $5.40. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $90.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $84.60 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ALB, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $95.56/share today.
Because the $90.00 strike represents an approximate 6% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 63%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 6.00% return on the cash commitment, or 50.88% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Albemarle Corp., and highlighting in green where the $90.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $101.00 strike price has a current bid of $5.45. If an investor was to purchase shares of ALB stock at the current price level of $95.56/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $101.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 11.40% if the stock gets called away at the December 5th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if ALB shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Albemarle Corp., as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing ALB's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $101.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $101.00 strike represents an approximate 6% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 57%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 5.70% boost of extra return to the investor, or 48.36% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example is 71%, while the implied volatility in the call contract example is 65%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $95.56) to be 60%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.
