Ecovyst ( (ECVT) ) has provided an update.
On December 31, 2025, Ecovyst completed the previously announced $556 million cash sale of its Advanced Materials & Catalysts business to Technip Energies, divesting its direct and indirect equity interests in the subsidiaries comprising that business and entering into a transition services agreement for up to 13 months. The transaction triggered a mandatory $161.5 million repayment under Ecovyst’s term loan, and the company voluntarily repaid an additional $303.5 million of principal using sale proceeds, significantly reducing its debt load; concurrently, Advanced Materials & Catalysts head Paul Whittleston left the company, and the divested business, already classified as discontinued operations since the third quarter of 2025, is now fully removed from Ecovyst’s pro forma financials, marking a substantial reshaping of its balance sheet and business mix.
The most recent analyst rating on (ECVT) stock is a Buy with a $12.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ecovyst stock, see the ECVT Stock Forecast page.
