ASHAshland Inc.
Ashland Inc. reported preliminary third quarter 2026 results with sales of $497 million, a seven percent increase from the prior-year quarter, driven by a six percent rise in sales volumes and approximately one percent pricing increases. Income from continuing operations was $41 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $15.70 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $109 million, down four percent year-over-year, as volume and pricing gains were offset by lower production rates and inflationary costs. The company reaffirmed its full-year fiscal 2026 sales guidance of $1,835 to $1,870 million and Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $385 to $400 million, while revising adjusted EPS outlook to low-to-mid-single digit growth. Ashland Inc. is a global additives and specialty ingredients company serving markets including pharmaceuticals, personal care, and architectural coatings.
