Multiple outlets report that Solstice is in negotiations to acquire Element Solutions in a major transaction. One report says the companies are discussing a merger that could be valued at about $27 billion, citing the Financial Times. A separate report describes a proposed acquisition of Element Solutions by Solstice through a combined cash-and-stock deal valued at approximately $14.5 billion, also characterizing the terms as covering both cash and shares.
While the outlets differ on the headline valuation figure, both accounts describe the same core structure: Solstice would acquire Element Solutions through a deal that includes cash and stock, and the transaction is framed as being under discussion or in talks. Neither source, in the information provided here, specifies additional deal details such as expected timing, regulatory review status, governance approvals, or the exact composition of the cash versus stock components.
As reported, the transaction would represent a significant consolidation move, but the coverage indicates the arrangement is not yet finalized and remains subject to continued negotiations and customary closing conditions.
