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.

In recent financial disclosures, Valhi reported negative results in March 2025 after four consecutive quarters of positive performance. Additionally, the company has faced rising raw material costs, which increased by 34.93% year-over-year, contributing to its underperformance. The interest coverage ratio has also reached a low of 125.36, reflecting potential challenges in covering interest expenses.
