Analyst projections of the future price of Kronos Worldwide stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Kronos swung to $34.8 million of profit in the third quarter, from a $37.0 million loss a year earlier, as higher volumes, lower feedstock and production costs, and cost-cutting measures lifted operating results. This points to a meaningful earnings recovery if those improvements hold. (Kronos Worldwide, Inc.)
Pricing is recovering: average TiO₂ selling prices rose 11% over the first nine months of 2026 and were 5% higher year on year in the third quarter. Further price increases could help offset rising operating costs. (Kronos Worldwide, Inc.)
Kronos gained share in Europe and North America as trade duties and changing supply conditions improved its position, helping lift third-quarter sales 18% year on year. Sustained share gains could support sales even while end-market demand remains subdued. (Kronos Worldwide, Inc.)
End-use demand remains below historical levels, and management expects seasonally softer fourth-quarter demand alongside lower production during planned maintenance. That could interrupt the recovery in volumes and earnings. (Kronos Worldwide, Inc.)
Higher energy and distribution costs are eating into the recovery, while currency moves have also hurt results; exchange-rate changes reduced segment profit by about $18 million in the first half of 2026. These pressures could limit how much of the sales improvement reaches the bottom line. (Kronos Worldwide, Inc., Kronos Worldwide, Inc.)
Titanium dioxide prices in China weakened in October as inventories stayed high and downstream demand remained soft. Renewed industry price pressure could make Kronos’s recent price increases harder to sustain. (Shanghai Metals Market)
