Investigation Launched on Behalf of Celanese Corporation Investors Amidst Allegations of Securities Fraud

Investigation into Celanese Corporation Shares

Pomerantz Law Firm has initiated an investigation concerning potential claims on behalf of investors of Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE). This investigation stems from significant concerns over whether the company and specific directors or officers might have engaged in securities fraud or possibly executed other unlawful business practices.

On November 4, 2024, Celanese revealed its financial results for the third quarter, which sparked worries among stakeholders. The reported earnings of $2.44 per share, specially adjusted for one-time factors, fell short of the expected consensus estimate of $2.84 per share. Additionally, the company’s revenue for the quarter stood at $2.65 billion, marking a year-over-year decline of 2.6%, and also failing to meet the consensus figure of $2.69 billion. These disappointing results influenced the company's market performance negatively.

The statement from Celanese's Chief Executive Officer highlighted that the firm was grappling with a drastically constrained demand environment. The CEO explicitly mentioned the automotive sector, indicating that demand had deteriorated swiftly. As a result, investors were cautioned about worsened demand expectations for the forthcoming fourth quarter, with the automotive and industrial segments expected to engage in more substantial seasonal destocking than usual.

The fallout from this troubling news was immediate, as Celanese's stock plummeted to close at $91.00 on November 5, 2024, representing a decline of $32.50 per share or 26.32% from the previous day's closing value.
