What the Analysts think about Koppers
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Koppers stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Koppers stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Performance Chemicals is gaining traction: second-quarter sales rose 11.5%, with volume up 11% and adjusted EBITDA up 31.4% year on year. That growth offers a useful counterweight to weakness elsewhere. (Koppers Holdings)
Utility poles could provide a longer-term growth engine as electricity demand drives grid expansion. Domestic utility-pole volumes rose 16% in the second quarter, and Koppers expects demand to benefit from data centres, ageing infrastructure and grid upgrades. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
Cash generation improved sharply: first-half operating cash flow reached $96.3 million and free cash flow $72.6 million, versus $27.8 million and $1.4 million a year earlier. The company says the cash helped reduce debt and fund shareholder returns, while its full-year free-cash-flow forecast is $110 million to $130 million. (Koppers Holdings)
Koppers lowered the top end of its 2026 adjusted EBITDA forecast to $250 million from $260 million, and its adjusted EPS ceiling to $4.20 from $4.60. It expects margin pressure and higher input and freight costs to persist through the rest of the year. (Koppers Holdings)
Carbon Materials and Chemicals faces both weak markets and raw-material constraints: second-quarter adjusted EBITDA fell 54.8% to $7.6 million, with higher costs weighing on results. Koppers says declining blast-furnace steel production has reduced coal-tar availability, and it plans to close its Stickney facility by year-end. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
Railroad and Utility Products and Services remains exposed to soft rail spending and pricing: second-quarter adjusted EBITDA fell 18.7%, partly as lower maintenance-of-way activity and crosstie price declines outweighed higher utility-pole volumes. Industry estimates also put 2026 North American crosstie purchases slightly below 2025. (Koppers Holdings, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
