Celanese's Q2 2026 net sales rose 9% year over year to $2,752 million and operating profit climbed 19% to $276 million, driven by higher pricing in both the Acetyl Chain and Engineered Materials segments. Net income attributable to the company nonetheless fell to $125 million ($1.13 diluted EPS) from $197 million ($1.80) a year earlier, mainly because favorable 2025 tax items did not recur.
