Kronos beats Q1 earnings estimates as cost actions narrow losses, though weaker pricing and lower production pressure profits and sales miss.

DALLAS, TEXAS, May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:KRO) today reported a net loss of $4.8 million, or $.04 per share, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $18.1 million, or $.16 per share, in the first quarter of 2025. Net income decreased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower income from operations as a result of lower average TiO2 selling prices and lower production volumes, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower production costs driven primarily by cost reduction initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2025 to structurally realign our operations, as well as lower raw material and energy costs. Comparability of our results was also impacted by the effects of changes in currency exchange rates.

Stepan Co. (SCL) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.45 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.21 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.84 per share a year ago.
