Huntsman's (NYSE:HUN) $0.0875 quarterly dividend trades with a September 15 Record Date and September 30 payment date. CEO Peter Huntsman said the company "delivered a solid quarter, supported by higher volumes across all three segments and pricing actions that offset a significant increase in raw material costs," while the planned merger of equals with Olin Corporation advanced through Shareholder approval and a key antitrust milestone.

Dividend Program and Shareholder Returns

Huntsman declared a $0.0875 per share quarterly dividend, payable September 30 to shareholders of record September 15. The annualized dividend is $0.35 per share, a rate the company has maintained through the current period despite reporting a net loss over the trailing twelve months, funded from cash and unused borrowing capacity of approximately $0.9 billion rather than current GAAP earnings. The payout has declined from higher levels in past years as the chemicals cycle has weighed on results, and its continuation now sits alongside the pending Olin combination, which will determine the dividend policy of the successor company, OlinHuntsman, once the transaction closes.

About the Company

Huntsman is a global manufacturer of differentiated chemical products serving construction, automotive, aerospace, electronics, energy, coatings and other industrial and consumer markets, operating through Polyurethanes, Performance Products and Advanced Materials segments.

Financial Performance Behind the Payout

Huntsman reported second-quarter revenue of $1.663 billion, up 14% from $1.458 billion a year earlier. Net loss attributable to Huntsman narrowed to $6 million from $158 million, with diluted loss per share of $0.03. Adjusted EBITDA was $120 million, up from $74 million. Polyurethanes segment revenue rose 16% to $1.079 billion, Performance Products revenue rose 5% to $283 million, and Advanced Materials revenue rose 19% to $313 million, which management attributed to higher sales volumes across all three segments and pricing actions offsetting raw-material cost increases. The company generated negative $60 million of Operating Cash Flow and used approximately $90 million of free cash flow during the quarter.

Olin Merger Progress

On June 16, 2026, Huntsman and Olin Corporation signed an agreement for an all-stock merger of equals, under which Huntsman shareholders will receive 0.5476 shares of Olin for each Huntsman share, with the combined company to be renamed OlinHuntsman. Shareholders of both companies approved the merger and related executive compensation on August 25, 2026. On September 11, 2026, the companies announced expiration of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period. CEO Peter Huntsman said the combination is expected to deliver approximately $300 million of synergies and create an integrated chemicals company with more than $12 billion of revenue.

Outlook

With shareholder approval and HSR clearance both secured, remaining closing conditions rather than regulatory hurdles stand between the current structure and OlinHuntsman. Raw-material and European energy costs remain the ongoing headwind management flagged even as Volume and pricing provided an offset this quarter.
