The cockpit's peer set: Valhi (VHI), Changhua Chemical Technology (301518.SZ), Braskem S.A. Sponsored ADR Pfd (BAK), Ho Tung Chemical (1714.TW), FuJian Nox Bellcow (300132.SZ), JSP (7942.T), Renxin New Material (301395.SZ), Nantong Jiangtian Chemical (300927.SZ).
Is Advansix expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 90.9× against a peer median of 9.9×, most expensive of 8 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 55% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +6%, so the hurdle is +50 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.
How has Advansix stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -17.2% against -14.8% for the median peer; over one year -10.9%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
