Cabot Corp. Hits 52-Week Low at USD 66.50 Amidst Market Decline

Cabot Corp., a small-cap player in the specialty chemicals industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 66.50 on October 14, 2025. This marks a significant decline, with the stock's performance over the past year showing a decrease of 30.64%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 14.44% during the same period.
Despite the recent downturn, Cabot Corp. maintains a market capitalization of USD 4,326 million and exhibits a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 9.00, indicating a potentially attractive valuation relative to its peers. The company also boasts a solid dividend yield of 2.24% and a return on equity of 29.98%, reflecting effective management efficiency.

Financial metrics reveal that Cabot Corp. has a healthy debt-to-equity ratio of 0.63 and a robust EBIT to interest ratio of 7.20, suggesting strong capabilities in servicing its debt. Additionally, the company reported its highest operating cash flow of USD 650 million in June 2025, alongside a notable decrease in raw material costs by 4.69% year-over-year. However, the stock's performance has been below par in both the short and long term, as it has consistently underperformed against the broader market indices.
