What the filing says
Valhi reported Q2 2026 net income attributable to stockholders of $22.3M ($0.78/share) vs. $0.9M ($0.03/share) in Q2 2025, driven by Chemicals Segment operating income of $40.4M (vs. $10.3M prior year) on higher TiO2 sales volumes (+16%), lower raw material costs, and cost reduction initiatives. H1 2026 net income: $24.3M ($0.85/share) vs. $17.8M ($0.62/share) in H1 2025. Board declared $0.08/share quarterly dividend, payable Sept 24, 2026. Currency headwinds (primarily euro weakness) reduced Chemicals operating income ~$12M in Q2 and ~$18M in H1.
Why this rating
Q2 earnings swing from near-breakeven to $22.3M (57% of $39.4M market cap) is material; H1 cumulative $24.3M is also significant. Chemicals segment improvement and dividend maintenance are positive, though offset partially by currency pressures and debt-related interest expense increases.
