What the Analysts think about Valhi

Analyst projections of the future price of Valhi stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The chemicals business has swung sharply back into profit: third-quarter operating income was $60.5 million, versus a $15.9 million loss a year earlier. Higher volumes, better plant utilisation, lower feedstock costs and cost cuts helped lift nine-month operating income to $115.4 million from $35.6 million. (Valhi)
TiO₂ pricing and market position are improving: average prices rose 11% during the first nine months of 2026 and were 5% higher year on year in the third quarter. Valhi also gained share in Europe and North America, helped by anti-dumping duties and changing supply conditions. (Valhi)
CompX provides a modest counterweight to the chemicals cycle, with component-products operating income rising to $6.4 million in the third quarter from $4.8 million, and to $22.4 million for the first nine months from $17.0 million. (Valhi)
The TiO₂ recovery faces a softer market: rival producer Tronox expects fourth-quarter pigment volumes to fall by a high-single to low-double-digit percentage sequentially, citing seasonality and weaker demand in Europe and Asia-Pacific. It also cited Middle East disruption and higher raw-material costs. (Tronox)
Valhi’s real-estate contribution is fading as development winds down: third-quarter segment operating income fell to $0.5 million from $19.7 million a year earlier. The company said slower development activity drove lower land-sale revenue. (Valhi)
Currency and operating costs remain a drag on chemicals margins: exchange-rate movements, mainly the euro, reduced segment operating income by about $23 million in the first nine months of 2026, while higher energy and distribution costs also offset some of the improvement. (Valhi)
