Element Solutions sees FY26 adjusted EPS growth rate in high teens

The company now expects full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $665M-$685M, inclusive of expected contributions from the Micromax and EFC acquisitions on a full-year basis and assuming current exchange rates and metal prices, and adjusted EPS growth rate in the high teens. In addition, the company expects second quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be between $155M-$170M. Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Gliklich commented, “Our organic acceleration in the first quarter gives us confidence in a strong year, despite a more complex macro environment than anticipated. We already see inflationary pressure driven by current geopolitical events and expect increased variance in quarterly earnings driven by swings in metals prices, although those benefitted us in Q1. We have a flexible operating model and a demonstrated track-record of agility, whether that relates to sourcing, pricing or cost management. We are already taking action to preserve our profitability and our ability to service customers. At the same time, the underlying demand in the high-end electronics market remains quite strong. Given the strong positions we have established in the fastest-growing, highest-value niches of these markets and our expectation that we can continue to nimbly manage through current supply chain disruptions, we are raising our adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year.”
