Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CC

10/02/2026: CC (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

The Chemours Company is an established provider of performance chemicals, including titanium technologies and specialized fluoroproducts. Its primary strengths lie in strong brand equity and proprietary technology in high-growth niches like thermal management. The main investment story centers on the transition toward sustainable, high-margin materials while optimizing the legacy business. Investors face risks regarding cyclical sensitivity, significant environmental remediation liabilities, and intense global competition. The stock may best suit value-oriented investors who can tolerate industrial volatility, provided they monitor the resolution of legacy legal issues and the success of the company's operational realignment efforts.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CC receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CC has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-548.8%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.9%), moderate revenue growth (+0.4%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CC's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 17.8%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is CC's strongest growth driver at +105.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+0.4%, moderate) and earnings growth (-548.8%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 91.6% and approximately 99.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.37%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Ameriprise Financial Inc 3.21%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CC generates approximately $155 of gross profit, $-1 of operating income, and $9 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -39.35% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CC has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
