On CAPS, 92% of the 381 members who have rated Celanese believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just yesterday, one of those Fools, hend6, succinctly summed up the Celanese bull case for our community:
Strong, growing earnings in a diversified field that includes food-related industries. The balance sheet is mediocre, but a small dividend and stock repurchases helps offset such a high amount of cash. Should continue to grow and expand.
