Analyst projections of the future price of Kronos Worldwide stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Kronos swung to a $34.8 million profit in the third quarter of 2026 from a $37.0 million loss a year earlier. Higher sales and production, cheaper feedstock and cost-cutting measures helped drive the turnaround. (Kronos Worldwide)
Third-quarter TiO₂ sales volumes rose 14%, with market-share gains in Europe and North America. Anti-dumping duties and shifting supply conditions helped Kronos win customers even though industry demand remains weak. (Kronos Worldwide)
TiO₂ prices improved during 2026: the average rose 11% over the first nine months, and third-quarter prices were 5% above a year earlier. Further pricing actions could help offset energy and distribution cost pressures. (Kronos Worldwide)
Demand remains below historical levels, especially in North America, where housing-market weakness, economic uncertainty and subdued consumer spending are weighing on sales. That limits how durable the recovery in volumes and prices may be. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
Kronos expects softer fourth-quarter demand from normal seasonality and lower production because of planned maintenance at several sites. Customer order lead times have also started to shorten, which could interrupt the recent improvement. (Kronos Worldwide)
Debt remains a significant fixed burden: Kronos reported $539.9 million of debt at September 2026, including senior notes carrying 9.5% interest and a related-party loan at 9.54%, both due in 2029. Those financing costs and the eventual refinancing needs could constrain cash available for investment or returns to shareholders. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
