What the Analysts think about Kronos Worldwide
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Kronos Worldwide stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
S&P Global Ratings raised Kronos’ issuer credit rating to ‘B’ from ‘B–’, recognizing stronger late-2024 performance. The agency notes that key metrics, such as EBITDA margin and funds from operations to debt, should remain sound for this rating even amid demand volatility (Reuters).
The company’s 2024 10-K outlook expects titanium dioxide (TiO₂) demand to improve in 2025, especially in Europe, supported by anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports. These measures should help counter price pressures and underpin sales volumes (SEC).
Kronos has implemented cost-saving measures, such as targeted job cuts and the closure of its Canadian sulfate process line in 2024, with the goal of optimizing production and boosting long-term gross margins (SEC).
Q2 2025 saw a net loss of $9.2 million (–$0.08 per share), a significant turnaround from net income of $19.5 million ($0.17 per share) in Q2 2024. The reversal reflects falling production volumes and a sharp rise in unabsorbed fixed costs (SEC).
Profit in the titanium dioxide segment dropped 73.5% year-over-year to $10.9 million in Q2 2025, signaling substantial margin squeezing due to lower selling prices and weak absorption of fixed costs (SEC).
Moody’s Ratings shifted Kronos’ outlook to negative, pointing to continued operational setbacks at the Conyers facility, negative free cash flow, and higher leverage expected through early 2026 (Investing.com).
