On August 28, Solstice Advanced Materials Inc rose 16.79% in regular trading, trading at $65.5/share, with turnover of $91.14 million.
On the news front, the company announced that it and Element Solutions mutually agreed to terminate their previously announced $14.5 billion merger agreement, with neither party required to pay a termination fee. Simultaneously, the company authorized a $500 million share repurchase program and affirmed its previously issued Q3 and full-year guidance.
The terminated merger removes integration uncertainty and leverage concerns that had weighed on the stock. The company's full-year net sales guidance of $4.13 billion to $4.19 billion exceeds the FactSet consensus estimate of $4.08 billion, while adjusted EPS guidance of $2.75 to $2.95 also tops the Street estimate of $2.67. The combination of eliminated deal risk, a substantial buyback authorization, and above-consensus guidance provides clear fundamental support for the stock.
