Momentum has rolled over on Celanese Corporation, which is what drives the bearish read. At this size, a single catalyst moves the stock further than it would a larger peer.
Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into CE?
At today's price, Celanese Corporation needs to grow free cash flow about -2.3% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 6.32% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 8.6% a year, so the market is asking for 10.9 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis CE looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

Celanese Corporation is currently running 41.4% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CE's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 81st percentile — elevated for this stock, against a typical reading of 27.9%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.
CE is trading -74.1% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -24.6%, and the deepest was -61.0% in 2024. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.
Price sits -12.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 19th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year CE closed higher on 49% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.
On October specifically: over 13 years of records, CE finished the month higher 8 of 13 times, with a median return of +2.0% and an average of +1.1%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +3.7% on average, its weakest June at -2.5%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.
Overnight risk is measurable too: CE has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 191 of 3,266 sessions (5.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +6.8% and -8.0%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.
Across the last 3 dated reports on file, CE moved an average of 6.5% in the session after earnings, closing higher 0 of those 3 times, with a median move of -7.6% and a largest of -9.8%.
All figures computed from 3,267 daily closes between 2013-10-14 and 2026-10-09, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CE's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
