Qnity Electronics raised 2026 guidance above estimates as AI, HPC and connectivity fuel demand. The board approved a $500M buyback, Q4 revenue beat views, and shares rose about 2% in premarket trade.
Feb 26 (Reuters) - Qnity Electronics forecast full-year 2026 earnings above analysts' estimates on Thursday, as the newly listed semiconductor solutions provider benefits from strong demand for artificial intelligence, high‑performance computing and next‑generation connectivity.
The company's board of directors also authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of outstanding common stock. Shares of the Wilmington, Delaware-based company rose about 2% in premarket trading.
Chip suppliers have been among the biggest beneficiaries of the investment surge by businesses upgrading infrastructure to support AI-driven workloads.
Qnity, which offers products used in advanced computing, data centers and high-speed networking, said it expects those trends to continue through 2026.
The company was spun off from industrial materials maker DuPont in October and began trading as an independent public company in November.
Qnity forecast full-year revenue in the range of $4.97 billion to $5.17 billion, the mid-point of which is marginally above analysts' estimates of $5.06 billion according to data compiled by LSEG.
On an adjusted basis, the company sees full-year profit per share in the range of $3.55 to $3.95, compared with analysts' estimates of $3.14.
For the fourth quarter, Qnity posted revenue of $1.19 billion, above analysts estimates of $1.16 billion.
