While KRO currently carries a cautious 36/100 (D-) rating due to Insider Conviction & Share Dilution (4/20), shorts face asymmetric squeeze risk if free cash flow inflects or management executes accretive buybacks.

KRO — Kronos Worldwide Inc: What the Facts Mean to a Prospective Investor
Engine: anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5
As of: 2026-11-02T15:32:23Z
Roarable Rating Brief: What This Means to a Prospective Investor
Per the Roarable RQD rating, KRO scores 36 out of 100, earning a letter grade of D- and the verdict "Roarable Sell — Vulnerable Balance Sheet & Flow." The five pillars are: Fundamental Cash Engine at 7/20 (ROIC -2.3%; FCF yield -4.71%), Whale 13F Flow at 7/20 (institutional accumulation and options positioning), Insider Conviction at 3/20 (SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow), Macro Regime Fit at 8/20 (Beta 1.0; sector sensitivity), and Forensic Balance Sheet at 11/20 (Altman Z 2.5; Piotroski F 4/9; Debt/Equity 0.74). The weakest pillar is Insider Conviction, and the strongest, though still below half-credit, is Forensic Balance Sheet. For a prospective investor, the cash-generation pillars signal that current operations are not producing returns above the cost of capital or positive free cash flow, which limits the internal funding available for debt service or shareholder returns. The Altman Z of 2.5 and Piotroski F of 4/9 indicate a middling financial health profile rather than a distressed one, but the score is held down by weak insider signals and negative cash-engine metrics. Upside drivers would need to come from a reversal in operating margins and cash conversion; valuation tradeoffs center on a low share price relative to its 52-week range, offset by the absence of available earnings-based multiples in the source data.
Financial Trend
| Period | Revenue | Operating Income | Net Income | EPS | FCF | Cash | Debt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY 2025 | $1859.4M | $-36.5M | $-110.9M | N/A | $-40.4M | $33.2M | $557.4M |
| FY 2024 | $1887.1M | $122.9M | $86.2M | N/A | $43.0M | $106.7M | $429.1M |
| FY 2023 | $1666.5M | $-56.0M | $-49.1M | N/A | $5.5M | N/A | N/A |
Per the SEC financials, FY 2025 posted an operating loss and net loss after a profitable FY 2024, and the market data shows gross margin of 11.5%, operating margin of -2%, and net margin of -6%. ROIC is -2.3% per the market data. The Roarable RQD rating records an Altman Z-Score of 2.5, a Piotroski F-Score of 4/9, and Debt/Equity of 0.74. Debt rose from $429.1M in FY 2024 to $557.4M in FY 2025 while cash fell from $106.7M to $33.2M.

Everyone in here is repeating the bull case on KRO, but look at what you are paying: current EV/EBITDA multiples with 11.5% gross margins. Unless Kronos Worldwide Inc expands free cash flow yield next quarter, I would rather wait for a pullback closer to the 200-day moving average before touching this.

Spot @ $7.45 KRO cash flow & RQD setup is being underpriced by the Street here
Looking at the 5-pillar RQD breakdown on KRO, the market is fixating on short-term headline noise in Major Chemicals and ignoring the balance sheet and cash flow trajectory. At $7.45 (52-wk range $4.08 - $9.17), any beat on forward guidance forces shorts and underweight funds to chase.
