Analysts Remain Split on Solstice Advanced Materials (SOLS) Despite Expansion Investments

Solstice Advanced Materials Inc. (NASDAQ:SOLS) is among the spin-off companies in 2025. In October 2024, the company’s parent, Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:HON), approved the spin-off of its Advanced Materials business into an independent, U.S. publicly traded company. The spin-off was completed on October 30, 2025, through a pro rata distribution to Honeywell shareholders, who received one Solstice Advanced Materials common share for every four Honeywell common shares held.

On December 17, RBC Capital Markets analyst Arun Viswanathan reiterated his Hold rating on Solstice Advanced Materials Inc. (NASDAQ:SOLS) and set a $50 price target. Consistent with Viswanathan’s view, the consensus currently reflects a mixed view on the stock, with four in seven analysts assigning a Buy recommendation and three a Hold.

As of December 24, Solstice Advanced Materials Inc.’s (NASDAQ:SOLS) share price performance has been lacklustre, with shares down approximately 6% since the listing.

However, the company appears to be executing its expansion strategy to drive future growth. On December 2, the company announced the start of expansion and modernization of its electronic materials facility in Spokane Valley, Washington, through a $200 million investment. This expansion is expected to double the facility’s sputtering-target (specialized materials for semiconductors) production capacity by 2029.

Solstice President and CEO David Sewell called the groundbreaking event for the facility an investment “in the future of American semiconductor innovation”. He further stated:

“As demand accelerates for artificial intelligence, high-speed computing and connected technologies, we are preparing the Spokane facility to deliver the quality, reliability and scale our customers need to drive innovation. The expansion project underscores our commitment to strengthening supply chain resilience, enhancing production efficiency and driving sustainable manufacturing innovation in this exciting growth market.”

Solstice Advanced Materials Inc. (NASDAQ:SOLS) is a global specialty chemicals and advanced materials company with positions in refrigerants, semiconductor materials, protective fibers, and healthcare packaging.
