Pro Investor Academy research

Research data through Oct 28, 2026. Research is updated periodically, not in real time.

Quality

48

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 48 of 100, in the weaker band of the covered universe. This is a research reading about business durability, not a view on the share price.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

55

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 55 of 100. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Strong

72

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 72 of 100, recorded as strong. A dividend is recorded, but no consecutive-year record is stored. Share count has been reduced at about 4.0% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

In the company’s own words

What this company does

Ecovyst Inc. ("Ecovyst" or the "Company"), formerly PQ Group Holdings Inc., was incorporated in Delaware on August 7, 2015. We trace our roots to the late 1800s with our first sulfuric acid plant and the beginning of our oldest customer relationship.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the stock ticker "ECVT". Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms "Ecovyst Inc.," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company" mean Ecovyst Inc. and our subsidiaries.

Effective on December 31, 2025, we completed the sale of our Advanced Materials & Catalysts segment, which includes our investment in affiliated companies, Zeolyst International and Zeolyst C.V. (collectively, the "Zeolyst Joint Venture") to Technip Energies N.V. for a purchase price of $556.0 million, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the agreement. We used $465.0 million of the net cash proceeds to partially repay the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility due June 2031. The results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the Advanced Materials & Catalysts business are presented herein as discontinued operations. Refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

We are a leading integrated provider of virgin and regenerated sulfuric acid products and services. We believe that our business contributes to improving the sustainability of the environment.
