Avient Q2 2026: Record 18.3% EBITDA Margin, $0.09 EPS Beat, and Full-Year Guidance Raised on Asia-Led Volume Recovery
Avient delivered a decisive Q2 2026 beat — adjusted EPS of $0.96, $0.09 ahead of guidance — driven by volume that came in approximately 3 percentage points better than the negative 1%-2% management had projected, flipping to roughly positive 1%. EBITDA margin reached a record 18.3%, expanding 110 basis points year-over-year, and full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance was raised to $575M-$603M. Asia organic sales grew 18% year-over-year, with the electronics and high-performance computing secular tailwind now cited as a $2 billion directly addressable opportunity against a current run-rate of approximately $100 million, signaling a long runway for penetration.
