Company News
Solstice Advanced Materials to acquire Element Solutions in a ~$14.5 billion cash-and-stock deal, creating an industry-leading advanced materials platform.
Element Solutions has been highlighted by Jim Cramer, who expects the stock to "keep on soaring" if the rest of the year matches first-quarter performance. The specialty chemicals technology company, which provides assembly, circuitry and semiconductor solutions, is trading at less than 19 times this year's earnings estimates. Cramer noted that whilst Element Solutions' five-year performance has been relatively stagnant, recent results show improvement. The company is expected to deliver nearly 20% revenue growth and 17% earnings growth this year, followed by strong performance in 2027. However, Cramer cautioned that the stock could sell off if the Iran war concludes or if the semiconductor boom weakens. Element Solutions trades on the NYSE under ticker ESI.
Element Solutions Inc., a global specialty chemicals company, has completed its acquisition of Micromax from Celanese for $500 million. The deal adds high-value capabilities in specialty and rare gases alongside advanced materials. Micromax, which will be rebranded as EFC Gases Advanced Materials, will operate as a standalone business unit within ESI's newly renamed Specialties Segment. The acquisition opens new growth opportunities in semiconductor manufacturing, electrical transmission infrastructure and space applications. Element Solutions expects the Specialties Segment to achieve mid-single-digit growth with adjusted EBITDA margins exceeding 20%. The West Palm Beach-based company serves sectors including consumer electronics, automotive systems, semiconductor fabrication and offshore energy.
Element Solutions has entered into Amendment No. 10 to its Credit Agreement, adding $450 million in incremental term loans and establishing a new $500 million revolving credit facility with Citibank. The term loans, fungible with existing tranche B debt, helped fund the Micromax acquisition that closed on 2 February 2026 and mature on 18 December 2030. The new revolving credit facility replaces the previous $375 million facility and extends maturity to 2 February 2031. The arrangement provides additional liquidity to support Element Solutions' ongoing operations and strategic initiatives.
Celanese Corporation has completed the sale of its Micromax® business to Element Solutions Inc for approximately $500 million in cash. The global specialty materials and chemical company will use the proceeds to support deleveraging efforts. CEO Scott Richardson said the transaction advances Celanese's strategic priorities of cash generation and deleveraging whilst allowing the Micromax team to continue growing under Element Solutions. Celanese is a Fortune 500 company employing over 11,000 people worldwide, with 2024 net sales of $10.3 billion. The company produces specialty material solutions used across major industries and consumer applications.
