Description: ECVT Ecovyst November 17, 2025

Ecovyst Inc. (NYSE: ECVT) operates two distinct businesses. The Ecoservices segment recycles sulfuric acid and manages logistics for alkylate production at refineries, while also selling virgin sulfuric acid to mining, water-treatment and other industrial users. The Advanced Materials & Catalysts segment supplies specialty catalysts, advanced silicas and zeolite-based solutions to polyethylene producers, oil refineries (hydrocracking and dewaxing), and manufacturers of diesel-engine emission control systems. The company, formerly PQ Group Holdings, rebranded to Ecovyst in August 2021 and traces its roots back to 1831, with headquarters in Malvern, Pennsylvania.

As of the most recent FY 2023 filing, Ecovyst reported $1.2 billion in consolidated revenue, with the Ecoservices line contributing roughly 55 % and the Advanced Materials & Catalysts line 45 %. The segment’s growth is closely tied to two macro drivers: (1) the global push for lower-carbon fuels, which boosts demand for hydrocracking and emission-control catalysts, and (2) the resurgence of sulfuric-acid-intensive processes in mining and water-treatment amid rising commodity prices. Industry base-rates suggest that catalyst spend in the refining sector averages 2-3 % of refinery throughput, implying a potential upside if refinery capacity expands in response to higher crude runs in 2024-25.
