Valhi, Inc. Hits 52-Week Low of $12.61 Amidst Declining Performance

Valhi, Inc., a microcap company in the specialty chemicals industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 12.61 on November 4, 2025. This decline marks a significant downturn for the stock, which has experienced a 35.6% decrease in value over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's performance of 19.89% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at USD 481 million, and it currently has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 2.00, indicating a low valuation relative to its earnings. Valhi's dividend yield is notably high at 95.04%, which may attract attention despite the stock's recent performance. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 0.39, suggesting a manageable level of debt, while its return on equity is reported at 13.25%.

Valhi's challenges are underscored by a recent report of negative results after four consecutive positive quarters, alongside a significant increase in raw material costs, which have risen by 34.93% year-over-year. The interest coverage ratio has also reached a low of 125.36, reflecting potential strain on financial stability.
