This New Spinoff Is a Nuclear and AI Chip Beneficiary Worth Watching

Submitted by Leo Miller. Posted: 4/1/2026.

Key Points

  • Since splitting off from a massive industrial leader, shares of Solstice Advanced Materials are on a hot streak.
  • The company holds impressive positions in nuclear energy and advanced semiconductor supply chains, generating strong growth from these industries.
  • However, does the company’s overall growth justify its soaring share price?
  • Special Report: Have $500? Invest in Elon’s AI Masterplan

Solstice Advanced Materials (NASDAQ: SOLS) is a relatively new publicly traded company that has gotten off to a blistering start. Honeywell International (NASDAQ: HON) spun the company out at the end of October 2025.

Since the spinout, Solstice shares have climbed more than 50% as the company benefits from key tailwinds in both the nuclear energy and semiconductor industries.

Ticker Revealed: Pre-IPO Access to “Next Elon Musk” Company (Ad)

We’ve found The Next Elon Musk… and what we believe to be the next Tesla. 

It’s already racked up $26 billion in government contracts.

Peter Thiel just bet $1 Billion on it.👉 Unlock the ticker now and get it completely free.

Investors should temper enthusiasm, however, because the current share price already reflects several years of aggressive growth. Still, because Solstice sits at the intersection of two major investment themes, it is a name to watch should its valuation retreat significantly.

U.S. Uranium Conversion Runs Through Solstice

Driven in part by the rapid buildout of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, demand for both nuclear energy and advanced semiconductors is rising. Many hyperscalers are supporting accelerated nuclear adoption to meet growing electricity needs for continuous, power-hungry AI workloads.

Nuclear power is low‑carbon, helping companies meet clean-energy commitments, and—unlike wind or solar—it can provide constant baseload power suitable for continuous AI operations.

Solstice owns the Metropolis Works uranium hexafluoride (UF6) conversion facility, making it the only domestic provider of UF6 conversion services. The company converts raw uranium into UF6 before it moves to other producers in the fuel fabrication cycle.

This position gives Solstice strategic importance for national energy security. The company notes there are only four other UF6 conversion sites globally; 2022 data indicate one is in Russia and another in China—countries with adversarial relations with the United States.

As nuclear demand increases, capacity at the Metropolis facility is nearly sold out through 2030 and carries an over $2 billion backlog. Bank of America estimates global nuclear capacity could triple by 2050, creating a significant opportunity for Solstice in a fragmented market.

A notable risk is new competitors entering the market; Solstice says bringing a new conversion facility online typically takes four to five years.

SOLS’s Copper Manganese: A Vital Input for AI Semiconductors

Advanced semiconductors are central to AI development, and Solstice holds a strong position as a supplier of specialized chip materials.

The company produces copper manganese sputtering targets, which are essential for manufacturing semiconductors at process nodes below seven nanometers (nm). Solstice says it is “really the only producer that has copper manganese at scale” and one of only two or three suppliers worldwide.

Solstice expects demand for copper manganese to rise as AI progresses. Shrinking process nodes are a primary driver of increased semiconductor performance, and smaller nodes require more copper manganese.

The push to expand U.S.-based advanced semiconductor manufacturing also favors Solstice, since U.S. fabs are more likely to source domestically. Major industry players are investing heavily:

To meet rising demand, Solstice is investing $200 million to double its sputtering-target manufacturing capacity at its Washington State facility. Copper manganese demand represents another meaningful growth opportunity for the company.

SOLS: A Watchlist Stock Amid Demand From High-Growth Industries

In its latest quarter, Solstice’s nuclear business grew 39% year over year (YOY), while its Electronic Materials division—which includes sputtering targets—grew 19% YOY. Despite those strong segments, Solstice is a diversified industrial company, not a pure play on nuclear and semiconductors. In 2024, nuclear and semiconductors together accounted for just 22% of total revenue.

Overall sales rose 3% in 2025 and 8% in Q4 2025. The company’s revenue growth projection for 2026 is near 4%, which is modest relative to the premium baked into the stock’s valuation today.

Solstice is an interesting and strategically positioned company, serving as a key supplier within both the nuclear and semiconductor value chains. That positioning makes the stock worth watching if the company’s fundamentals or valuation shift materially.

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova. Love and God Bless, Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
