Element Solutions Inc.: These Are The 4 Biggest Challenges In Its Path For Growth! 

Element Solutions Inc.’s first quarter 2025 performance showcased a mixed bag of operational successes and challenges. The company reported a 5% year-over-year organic sales growth at constant currency and an adjusted EBITDA of $128 million, slightly surpassing their guidance. The electronics segment was a standout performer, marking 10% organic growth. Key contributors included robust demand in advanced packaging and data center markets, as well as improving consumer electronics in Asia. Sales from wafer-level packaging products grew over 20%, indicative of strong order patterns. However, the broader Industrial and Specialty (I&S) segment faced headwinds, marked by a 2% organic net sales decline, largely driven by European volume pressures and timing delays in offshore projects. The segment’s profitability remained stable due to raw material deflation and disciplined cost management.
