Westlake Chemical Partners LP Hits New 52-Week Low at $21.00

This marks a significant decline for the specialty chemicals company, which has seen its stock price decrease by 7.28% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's performance of 17.38% during the same period.
The company, with a market capitalization of USD 774 million, operates within the microcap segment of the specialty chemicals industry. Despite a high return on equity of 63.29%, Westlake Chemical Partners has faced challenges, including a decline in operating profit at an annual rate of -1.43% over the last five years. Additionally, the company reported a net profit of USD 19.51 million, reflecting a decrease of 33.34%.

Westlake's financial metrics indicate a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.72 and a price-to-book ratio of 1.53, suggesting a relatively attractive valuation compared to its peers.
