Q2 revenue beat estimates

Element Solutions reported USD 977.90 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 873.19 million expected by analysts. The company therefore delivered revenue growth of 56.40 percent from USD 625.20 million in the second quarter of 2025, according to MarketBeat on October 7, 2026.

Adjusted earnings per share came in at USD 0.47 for the same quarter, USD 0.04 above the USD 0.43 consensus estimate. The comparison also shows an improvement from adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.20 in the year-earlier quarter.

Analyst targets remain divided

UBS is not the only recent voice on the stock. MarketBeat reported on October 7, 2026 that eleven firms covered Element Solutions with a consensus Buy rating and an average 12-month target of USD 45.50. That target is USD 8.33 above the October 7 NYSE close of USD 37.17, but it is a separate US-dollar comparison from the euro quote used in this article.

The latest operating backdrop combines growth with execution demands. Element Solutions serves electronics and industrial customers with specialty chemicals, while its second-quarter results included a revenue expectation gap of USD 104.71 million and an adjusted earnings-per-share surprise of USD 0.04.

Next results date is October 27

Element Solutions is scheduled to report its next quarterly results on October 27, 2026, according to Gekko. The same page lists a USD 22.86 to USD 49.25 52-week range and a USD 9.1 billion market capitalization based on the October 7, 2026 close.

Stock holds above its yearly low

The October 8 Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 33.00 is an intraday indication for German-market investors. The reference remains the EUR 33.10 Lang & Schwarz prior close dated October 7, 2026, with the session change at minus 0.30 percent. The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker ESI, so US-dollar figures and the euro quote should be read as separate venue perspectives.
