Quaker Chemical (KWR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Quaker Chemical (KWR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Quaker Houghton is poised for a positive outlook, driven by solid volume growth in the Asia/Pacific region, underpinned by favorable market dynamics and successful new business acquisitions. The company anticipates margin expansion through 2026, thanks to ongoing revenue increases resulting from both share gains and capacity enhancements, particularly in its Thailand and China facilities. Furthermore, revenue is projected to rise at a rate of 2-4% as stable end market conditions prevail, signaling a positive trajectory for the company's financial performance.
Bears say
Quaker Houghton is facing significant challenges due to higher leverage resulting from the Dipsol acquisition and ongoing weakness in key markets, with net leverage expected to exceed 1.0x. Steel production across various regions, particularly Europe, remains below five-year averages, negatively impacting demand for the company's industrial process fluids. Additionally, the company's EBITDA multiple is currently at the low end of its historical range, reflecting depressed end markets and a subdued growth outlook amid global economic weakness and elevated input costs.
