Olin Corporation (OLN) — Stock Score Summary

Olin Corporation (OLN) has a MoatMap StockRank of 67/100 based on Quality (32/100), Value (58/100), and Momentum (59/100) factor scores. The current signal is BUY. Olin Corporation is a highly cyclical chloralkali and epoxy producer. While it has a strong market position, its low quality score (Q: 32) and high energy intensity make it highly vulnerable to rising energy costs. Under the Terry Smith lens, we avoid commodity cyclicals with weak structural moats, especially when facing macro headwinds from elevated energy prices.

Olin Corporation is a global manufacturer and distributor of chemical products and a leading producer of ammunition. Its three primary segments are Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls, Epoxy, and Winchester (ammunition). Olin benefits from its integrated manufacturing capabilities, particularly in the production of chlorine and caustic soda, and its strong brand recognition in the ammunition market through Winchester, providing resilience across diverse industrial and consumer sectors.
