Element Solutions Reports Q1 2026 Financial Results and Raises Full-Year Guidance
Element Solutions Inc. reported a 41% increase in net sales to $840 million for Q1 2026, with adjusted EBITDA rising 26% to $162 million. Despite a 43% drop in net income to $56 million due to a gain on divestitures in the prior year, the company raised its full-year 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA to a range of $665 million to $685 million, and expects adjusted EPS growth in the high teens. The company attributes the strong performance to double-digit organic net sales growth and margin expansion, particularly in the Electronics segment.
