Element Solutions posts record Q3 2026 results and lifts 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance
Element Solutions reported third‑quarter 2026 net sales of $995.3 million, a 52% year‑over‑year increase, and GAAP net income of $65.7 million, up 67%. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $191.0 million and the company raised its full‑year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to about $720 million. The Solstice merger that had been announced earlier in the year was terminated in August 2026.
Why it matters
The company says the higher guidance reflects accelerating electronics‑driven growth and should support a stronger earnings outlook for 2026. Analysts note that the raised EBITDA target could justify a higher valuation for the stock.
