THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) management will be participating in several investor meetings over the coming weeks including the UBS Virtual Global Chemicals Conference on September 9, 2020 and the RBC Capital Markets Global Industrials Virtual Conference on September 15, 2020. Huntsman management intends to communicate that its Polyurethanes segment third quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA is expected to be at least 40% better than what it guided on its second quarter earnings call, or near the prior year third quarter period.
