Solstice Advanced Materials Inc's stock surged 8.46% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, following the release of its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results and forward guidance.
The specialty materials company reported quarterly net sales of $987 million, surpassing the Ibes estimate of $923.3 million, driven by double-digit growth in its Nuclear, Electronic Materials, and Refrigerants businesses. In a significant move for the recently spun-off entity, the company's board also declared its first quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share, signaling confidence in its financial stability and commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
While the company's Q4 adjusted earnings per share of $0.26 fell short of estimates, investors appeared to focus on the robust top-line performance and the initiation of a shareholder return program. The company also provided its full-year 2026 outlook, expecting net sales between $3.9 billion and $4.1 billion.
