Stepan Company reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2026, with reported net income increasing 102% year-over-year to $22.9 million. Adjusted net income rose 126% to $27.1 million, driven by improved Surfactant and Polymer results, margin recovery, and savings from the Project Catalyst initiative.

The company anticipates full-year restructuring charges between $75.0 million and $80.0 million, with $4 million to $6 million related specifically to this workforce reduction.
