I don't follow many material stocks. Here are a couple I watch. I prefer material companies with more stable earnings like ECL, APD, PX, and BMS. Most material sector companies are highly cyclical, which I try to avoid.
Favorite list:
ECL, APD, PX, SHW
The graphs below shows share prices in the last 12 months. The companies highlighted in GREEN are what I consider to be more stable in earnings. The names that are BOLDED are what I consider high quality companies.
