Olin Corporation is an American manufacturer of ammunition, chlorine and sodium hydroxide. Based in Clayton, Missouri, it has its roots in two companies, both founded in 1892: Franklin W. Olin's Equitable Powder Company and Mathieson Alkali Works
OLN presented the budget for the first quarter of 2021, which turned out to be better than expected. The company significantly increased its profits, free cash flow and debt repayment.
Lately the stock has received positive ratings from the analyzes that confirm the purchase with a price target ranging between $ 60.00 and $ 70.00.
⚡️Growth factors:
Multi-year contract with Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP): largest producer of small arms ammunition for the US military
Olin expects the contract with LCAAP will increase Winchester's annual revenues by $ 450- $ 550 million.
Olin Corporation recently entered into an agreement with Ashta Chemicals, Inc., a leading producer of potassium hydroxide (KOH) for the purchase and sale of chlorine.
The company expects price increases for chlorine, epichlorohydrin, epoxies, bleach, ethylene dichloride and chlorinated organics that will contribute to its chemical operations in the second quarter.
