Ecovyst beats Q2 sales estimates, raises FY guidance
ECVT•Drivers of higher sales
The company said increased second-quarter sales volume was driven by strong demand for regenerated sulfuric acid and less customer downtime, plus higher virgin sulfuric acid volume from the Waggaman plant.
It said higher average selling prices reflected pass-through of increased sulfur costs and favorable contractual pricing for regenerated sulfuric acid.
Outlook raised for 2026
Ecovyst raised its 2026 sales guidance to $1.02 billion-$1.06 billion from $890 million-$970 million.
The company sees 2026 adjusted EBITDA at $195 million-$207 million, up from $180 million-$195 million.
Ecovyst expects lower virgin sulfuric acid sales in the second half of 2026 versus 2025 due to fewer spot sales.
Q2 results beat estimates
Ecovyst said second-quarter sales rose 42% year over year, beating analyst expectations.
Adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA for the quarter also beat analyst expectations.
