This New Spinoff Is a Nuclear and AI Chip Beneficiary Worth WatchingAuthored by Leo Miller. Originally Published: 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: Elon Musk already made me a “wealthy man”
Solstice Advanced Materials (NASDAQ: SOLS) is a relatively new public company that has gotten off to a blistering start. At the end of October 2025, Honeywell International (NASDAQ: HON), an industrial conglomerate with a market value above $100 billion, spun out the company. Since the spinoff, Solstice shares have climbed more than 50%, as the firm benefits from tailwinds in both the nuclear energy and semiconductor industries.
Bill Spetrino, editor of The Dividend Machine, started with just an $8,000 IRA and invested it in a single dividend stock he calls the World's Greatest Dividend Stock - and he's sharing a free report that names it.
Spetrino has identified what he calls The Great American Turnaround, an economic shift driven by three catalysts he believes will reward dividend-focused investors who position early. His free bulletin outlines why waiting for markets to settle could mean paying more for the same yields. Read the free bulletin now and discover the dividend stocks to watch
Investors should temper enthusiasm given Solstice's current share price, which appears to reflect several years of growth. Still, because the firm sits at the intersection of two major investment themes, Solstice is a name to watch if its valuation retreats materially. U.S. Uranium Conversion Runs Through SolsticeRising demand for AI data centers has boosted both nuclear energy and advanced semiconductor demand. Many hyperscalers want to accelerate nuclear adoption to meet growing electricity needs, which serves two goals. First, nuclear energy is low-carbon, helping firms meet clean-energy commitments. Second, unlike intermittent renewables such as wind and solar, nuclear plants provide continuous power, which supports demanding, always-on AI workloads. Notably, Solstice owns the Metropolis Works uranium hexafluoride (UF6) conversion facility, making it the only domestic provider of UF6 conversion services. Solstice converts raw uranium into UF6, which then moves on to other producers in the fuel-fabrication cycle. This gives Solstice strategic importance for national energy security. The company notes there are only four other UF6 conversion sites worldwide. According to 2022 data, one of these sites is in Russia and another is in China—countries that have adversarial relations with the United States. Capacity at the Metropolis facility is nearly sold out through 2030 and carries a backlog exceeding $2 billion. Bank of America estimates global nuclear energy capacity could triple by 2050, creating a sizable opportunity for Solstice in a fragmented market. A key risk is the entry of new competitors, but Solstice says bringing a new conversion facility online typically takes four to five years. SOLS’s Copper Manganese: A Vital Input for AI SemiconductorsAdvanced semiconductors are fundamental to AI, and Solstice holds a strong position as a supplier of advanced chip materials. The firm manufactures copper-manganese sputtering targets, which are essential for producing semiconductors at process nodes below seven nanometers (nm). The company says it is “really the only producer that has copper manganese at scale,” and estimates it is one of only two or three suppliers worldwide. Demand for copper-manganese targets should increase as chipmakers move to smaller process nodes to boost semiconductor performance. The U.S. push to expand domestic advanced semiconductor manufacturing also favors Solstice, since proximity can make U.S. customers likelier buyers. Major foundries and chipmakers are investing heavily in U.S. capacity:
To support rising demand, Solstice is investing $200 million to double its sputtering-target manufacturing capacity at its Washington State facility. Overall, copper-manganese demand represents another significant growth opportunity for the firm. SOLS: A Watchlist Stock Amid Demand From High-Growth IndustriesIn its latest quarter, Solstice’s nuclear business grew 39% year over year (YOY), while its Electronic Materials division, which includes sputtering-target revenue, grew 19% YOY. That said, Solstice is a diversified company—not a pure play on nuclear and semiconductor trends. In 2024, nuclear and semiconductors combined for just 22% of total revenue. Overall sales increased 3% in 2025 and 8% in Q4 2025 (YOY). For 2026, the company projects revenue growth near 4%. That pace does not clearly justify Solstice’s current valuation, leaving the stock's outlook uncertain at present levels. Still, Solstice is a notable supplier in both the nuclear and semiconductor cycles, and its strategic assets make it worth watching if its fundamentals or valuation shift meaningfully. |
