What the filing says
Kronos reported Q2 2026 net income of $15.2M ($0.13/share) vs. Q2 2025 loss of $9.2M ($0.08/share). Net sales reached $558.1M in Q2 2026, up $63.7M (13%) from Q2 2025's $494.4M, driven by 16% higher TiO₂ sales volumes and market share gains (estimated $10M currency benefit), partially offset by 3% lower average TiO₂ pricing. Six-month 2026 net income was $10.4M ($0.09/share) on $1.07B sales (+9% YoY). Segment profit improved 276% to $41.0M in Q2 2026 from $10.9M in Q2 2025. The company also declared a $0.05/share quarterly dividend. A $2.0M tax expense was recorded for an uncertain German tax position.
Why this rating
Strong operational turnaround with Q2 earnings swing meaningful relative to $134.6M market cap, but offset by persistent pricing headwinds, currency volatility ($12M-$18M FX drag), and elevated interest costs ($28.5M YTD). Growth appears cyclical recovery, not structural transformation.
