Clariant is a Swiss specialty chemicals group making catalysts, care chemicals and adsorbents. Its share-price momentum is strong, but recent earnings fell short of analyst estimates and forward estimates were cut by about 2.5% over the past month. Its European production base is exposed to higher gas and feedstock costs this winter, which works against a durable margin recovery.

Calmer than 60% of stocks we rank over the past year (36% a year).
How this is worked out
What it measures: day-to-day price moves over the past year, as a yearly figure, ranked against every stock we cover. Very calm under 20% a year, Calm 20 to 30%, Average 30 to 40%, Bumpy 40 to 55%, Very bumpy above that.
What we found: across about 13,500 stocks in 34 markets (2002 to 2025), past swings were a good guide to the next year's, and bumpier stocks fell further. How much further changed too much between eras to put a number on it.
Calm is not safe: a calm stock can still slide steadily.
Rules fixed before any data was fetched. Describes the chart, not a recommendation.
