Description: ESI Element Solutions January 09, 2026
Element Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ESI) is a specialty-chemicals producer operating two primary segments: Electronics and Industrial & Specialty. The Electronics segment supplies assembly, circuitry, and semiconductor solutions to mobile communications, computing, automotive, and aerospace customers, while the Industrial & Specialty segment delivers plating, cleaning, graphics, and offshore-fluid products to aerospace, automotive, construction, consumer goods, and oil-&-gas markets.
Key recent metrics show FY 2023 revenue of roughly $2.0 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of about 13% and free cash flow generation of $250 million, reflecting strong demand for advanced semiconductor packaging and thermal-management materials driven by AI-enabled data centers and electric-vehicle adoption. The specialty-chemicals sector remains sensitive to macro-cycles in capital-intensive industries, but the shift toward higher-performance electronics and renewable-energy infrastructure provides a secular tailwind for ESI’s product portfolio.
