Eastman Chemical appears set for fast growth, Barron's Jun 16th 2013, 22:04 Sun Jun 16, 2013 6:04pm EDT (Reuters) - Eastman Chemical Co's (EMN.N) shares will likely resume their impressive growth path, following a recent bout of instability, as the specialty chemical maker's profits benefit from company cost savings, tax advantages and important acquisitions, Barron's said. The company generated about $8.1 billion in 2012 revenue and $5.38 in earnings per share, Barron's said, and has forecast that earnings will jump about 17 percent this year to more than $6.30 per share. Senior company officials have predicted profit will grow at a double-digit annual pace in the next few years and that Eastman will earn $8 a share in 2015, Barron's said. "Some investors and analysts believe that may be too conservative because recovery in two important end markets - transportation and construction - has just begun," the weekly newspaper said.
