Quaker Chemical (KWR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Quaker Houghton is experiencing solid growth in the APAC region, with high-single-digit percentage increases in volumes driven by favorable market dynamics and successful new business acquisitions. The company's ongoing share gains and capacity expansions, particularly with new facilities in Thailand and China, are expected to contribute to revenue growth of approximately 2-4% by 2026 under stable end market conditions. Additionally, near-term expectations of margin expansion through 2025 further support a positive outlook on Quaker Houghton's financial performance.
Bears say
The analysis highlights several fundamental concerns contributing to a negative outlook on Quaker Houghton's stock. First, the company faces elevated net leverage of slightly over 1.0x following the Dipsol acquisition, which is compounded by a backdrop of persistently weak steel production and utilization rates below five-year averages in both the U.S. and Europe. Additionally, the depressed EBITDA multiple at the low end of the company's historical range reflects the challenging end market conditions, ongoing global economic weakness, and elevated input costs, despite potential revenue and earnings growth anticipated for Q4.
