What the Analysts think about Kronos Worldwide
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Kronos Worldwide stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Lower third-party feedstock costs in H1 2025 partially offset the volume pressures, helping to support margins despite lower selling prices (GlobeNewswire).
Favorable currency exchange movements, largely due to a weaker euro, increased Kronos’ TiO₂ segment profit by about $14 million in Q2 2025 and $9 million in the first half of 2025, helping to cushion earnings against operational challenges (GlobeNewswire).
Industry consolidation in global titanium dioxide may benefit Kronos, as Rio Tinto considers selling its titanium unit due to weak returns. This could reduce excess capacity and support long-term prices for other producers (Reuters).
Kronos reported a net loss of $9.2 million in Q2 2025, compared to net income of $19.5 million in Q2 2024, mainly due to lower production volumes and poor absorption of fixed costs (GlobeNewswire).
Kronos' production capacity utilization dropped to 81% in Q2 2025, down from 99% a year earlier, leading to around $20 million in unabsorbed fixed production costs that substantially reduced segment profit (GuruFocus).
Average titanium dioxide selling prices declined 4% in the first half of 2025 amid global uncertainty and cautious customer demand, putting downward pressure on Kronos' revenue and margins (GuruFocus).
