    Avient boosts Q4 adjusted EPS view to 48c from 40c 12/14
    AVNT
    Consensus is 41c. "We expect to achieve record fourth quarter adjusted EPS of approximately $0.48 as recovering demand conditions around the world exceed the traditional seasonality we normally see this time of year. Overall demand is better than we initially estimated in every region of the world, and we are capturing synergies related to our acquisition of Clariant Masterbatch," said Robert M. Patterson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Avient Corporation. The company anticipates it will end the year with approximately $600 million in cash, which it intends to use for future bolt-on acquisitions and/or share repurchases, as pro forma net debt to EBITDA leverage is now expected to be approximately 2.8x by year-end. In December, Avient's Board of Directors approved an increase of 5 million shares available for repurchases, bringing the company's total authorization to approximately 6 million shares.
