ESI

In March 2026, ESI declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share. In April 2026, S&P Global Ratings upgraded ESI's issuer credit rating to 'BB+' from 'BB', citing strong organic growth in its electronics business and substantial liquidity. In July 2026, Solstice Advanced Materials announced its intent to acquire Element Solutions in a $12.5 billion cash-and-stock transaction, which led to a sharp decline in ESI's stock price and analyst downgrades due to concerns about the modest premium. Despite this, Element Solutions reported record second-quarter 2026 financial results, exceeding analyst expectations and raising its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance. In August 2026, Element Solutions declared a Q3 dividend of $0.08 per share, and later announced the mutual termination of the merger agreement with Solstice Advanced Materials following investor feedback. The company also completed the acquisition of EFC Gases & Advanced Materials. In September 2026, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share was declared.
