Insights:
- P/S ratio near to 0.7x, currently it is in line with the median
- EV/EBITDA ration near to 6.9, more or less in line with the median
- Correlation with MSCI Global Markets [SPGM] of ≈ 15.2%, where their behaviour only could be explained by ≈ 2.3% in the last year [LTM]
- Beta with MSCI Global Markets [SPGM] of ≈ 0.25
- Chemical Industry may have a hard months due to its bearish bias and its slightly expensive valuation. However, it may be an opportunity due to world public expenditure expansion and re-industrialization process linked to nearshoring. In addition, their dividend program could compensate some losses.

Based on its last EPS [24/10/24 TTM] of ≈ $1.49 MXN and a 30 Forward PER and a sensibility of ± 0.1916x annual, a hypothetical spread could be (ceteris paribus):
- High: ≈ $ 53.26 USD
- Neutral: ≈ $ 44.70 USD
- Down: ≈ $ 36.13 USD

Hypothesis
DOW in the next >12 (perhaps 16) months, might have a strong distribution phase above ≈ $ 68 USD and a strong accumulation phase below ≈ $ 41 USD where there is a bearish bias due to its revaluation probabilities and other quantitative parameters

Hedge plan example:
- Call [sell]: $68 USD
- Call [sell]: $59 USD
- Put [buy]: $48 USD
- Put [sell]: $41 USD

Risks
- Prices higher than $70 / $59 for a long time
- Prices lower than $41 for a long time.
- The neutral price of ≈ $53.5 is not reached at expiration
- Roll over costs (if time is not well estimated)

The best analysis is yours!
