Valhi, Inc. Stock Plummets to New 52-Week Low of $13.65

Valhi, Inc., a microcap company in the specialty chemicals industry, has recently reached a new 52-week low of USD 13.65 on October 13, 2025. This decline marks a significant downturn for the stock, which has experienced a 29.26% decrease in value over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's positive performance of 13.36% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at USD 481 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 2.00, indicating a low valuation relative to earnings. Valhi's dividend yield is notably high at 95.04%, which may attract attention despite the stock's recent struggles. The debt-to-equity ratio is reported at 0.39, suggesting a manageable level of debt.

In the most recent financial results, Valhi declared negative outcomes after four consecutive quarters of positive performance, contributing to its current stock price challenges. Additionally, the company has faced rising raw material costs, which increased by 34.93% year-over-year, further impacting its financial stability. As Valhi navigates these market dynamics, its performance metrics indicate a need for careful observation.
