In the Bull scenario, Middle East supply dislocations persist well past next year, sustaining global polymer tightness and widening polyethylene contract spreads. North American steam crackers maintain peak utilization, while disciplined capital spending and accelerated portfolio rationalization expand free cash flow, allowing rapid balance sheet deleveraging. This path yields a target of $102.56 with an assigned probability of 20.0%, representing an implied return of 70.8% versus $60.03 (as of 2026-10-09). Disconfirmation would emerge if global industrial demand contracts or if international peers resume full export parity.

• Prolonged international supply outages extend through multiple fiscal periods
• Domestic polyethylene contract margins achieve sustained double-digit expansion
• Substantial free cash flow acceleration enables rapid balance sheet debt retirement
