The earnings beat on revenue and guidance raise may provide a floor, but the large EPS miss and contracting margins (Rubber EBITDA -53%) suggest demand headwinds. Watch for Rubber segment recovery and working capital management in Q2. The raised EBITDA guidance implies confidence in oil price pass-through, but net debt creep (4.2x) limits optionality.
