Several geopolitical and economic reasons dampened the chemical industry’s performance last year. However, given the extensive use and relevance of chemicals as inputs for several sectors, the industry is poised to grow with recovering industrial activities.
Given this backdrop, I think chemical stocks Brenntag SE (BNTGY), Nitto Denko Corporation (NDEKY), CSW Industrials, Inc. (CSWI), and American Vanguard Corporation (AVD) are wise additions to one’s portfolio now.
