What happened
Activist hedge fund Starboard Value acquired a stake in Solstice Advanced Materials, a chemicals company spun off from Honeywell last year. Starboard Value is now pressuring Solstice management to cut approximately $100 million in overhead. The fund also advocates that Solstice concentrate its business on its core refrigerants and nuclear units.

Why it matters
The activist campaign aims to improve Solstice’s operational efficiency and strategic direction, following a difficult year for the company's stock. Solstice previously called off a $14.5 billion deal to acquire Element Solutions.
Honeywell is currently using valuation data for a potential spin-off target that involves Collins Aerospace.
