Element Solutions, trading under the symbol ESI-Q, has shown impressive growth this year, with a significant 75% increase, primarily driven by the ongoing geopolitical situation impacting the Strait of Hormuz. Last week's earnings report noted a 'beat and raise' quarter, reflecting strong performance and trading at a relatively attractive 24% PE ratio for 2026. The company's journey has seen a transitional phase where it experienced stagnant growth, yet it has strategically diversified its portfolio, particularly through acquisitions in the semiconductor sector. While last year's growth metrics were modest at 4% for sales and 3% for earnings, the stock’s 29.45% rise against a bearish market suggests a positive trend, especially in the chemical industry, where earnings remain robust. Overall, experts are painting a cautiously optimistic picture for ESI-Q as it consolidates its position in a promising market landscape.

BUY

In recent years, it went sideways and was dead money. However, the company kept making deals, including one gases company that helps produce semiconductors. Altogether, ESI has grown into a good company focused on making semis. True, last year's 4% sales growth and 3% earnings growth isn't super, a positive picture is forming. ESI is up 29.45% this year in a down market. Chemical companies are one industry that is roaring in this tough market. Earnings keep rising.

PARTIAL BUY

It's a solid turnaround story under new managers. He recommended this as a spec play before. You can buy a small position now. If it pulls back, add more. The market doesn't cover this much. ESI is exposed to some excellent end markets. Shares were quiet in October, but last week ESI reported yet around strong quarter, but messy guidance.

PARTIAL BUY

A specialty chemical company. Used to be a blank-cheque company which tumbled in 2015-6 after aggressively taking over companies and facing rising interest rates, then did nothing despite rebranding in 2019. Since then, business has surged along with the economy in the reopening. Since 2019, they've divested some businesses and replaced CEOs. electropnics make up 63% of sales, the rest from industrial and specialty like oil drilling. All their end markets are doing better after several negative quarters. Their organic growth has turned positive and accelerated. Also, they're issuing positive guidance and boosting their dividend. The balance sheet has improved. Last month, they made a small purchase of a specialty chemical company. Overall, their exposure in various business is good and their balance sheet is healthier. Trades at less than 15x 2022's PE. This is now a steal if their end markets keep going, but worth only a small investment at first.
