AdvanSix (NYSE:ASIX) reported Q2 2026 sales of $421 million, up 3% year over year, with EPS of $0.12 and adjusted EPS of $0.19.

Sales growth reflected market-based and formula pricing that helped offset higher raw-material costs, while sales volumes were below company expectations because of weaker ammonium sulfate demand.

Operating cash flow reached $10 million, while AdvanSix said Plant Nutrients was pressured by farmer profitability and lower fertilizer consumption during the spring planting season.

Following the announcement, AdvanSix's share price was down 7.60% at $18.61 in premarket trading as of 6:42 a.m. ET.

AdvanSix entered Q2 after reporting first-quarter sales of $404.2 million and an adjusted loss of $0.50 per share amid higher sulfur, natural gas and winter-storm costs.

The company is also evaluating an expansion of its Hopewell, Virginia ammonia platform to manufacture diesel exhaust fluid as it looks to broaden its product portfolio.
