Quaker Chemical (KWR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Quaker Houghton is experiencing robust growth in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, driven by positive market dynamics and new business acquisitions, which have contributed to a high single-digit percentage increase in volumes. The company is set to benefit from margin expansion through 2026, as ongoing new business wins are expected to enhance operational profitability. Additionally, the establishment of new production facilities in Thailand and China is facilitating market share gains and positioning Quaker Houghton for an approximate revenue growth of 2-4% by 2026 under stable market conditions.
Bears say
Quaker Houghton faces a challenging financial landscape characterized by heightened net leverage, expected to exceed 1.0x following the Dipsol acquisition, contributing to a negative outlook on its stock. The company's performance is adversely affected by weak steel production and utilization rates in both the U.S. and Europe, placing additional pressure on its industrial process fluids demand. Furthermore, the company's EBITDA multiple is currently at the low end of its historical range due to depressed end markets and a lackluster growth outlook amid continued global economic weakness and increased input costs.
