Quaker Chemical (KWR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Quaker Chemical (KWR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Quaker Houghton is experiencing robust growth in the Asia/Pacific region, attributed to favorable market dynamics, new business wins, and capacity expansion initiatives in Thailand and China. The company is projected to see margin expansion through 2026 as it continues to capitalize on its ongoing share gains and reduced churn, contributing positively to its revenue outlook. Additionally, projected revenue growth of approximately 2-4% in 2026, supported by a stabilization of end market conditions, further underscores a favorable financial trajectory for the company.
Bears say
Quaker Houghton faces a negative outlook primarily due to increased net leverage surpassing 1.0x following the Dipsol acquisition, compounded by ongoing weakness in steel production, which remains below five-year utilization averages. Additionally, the company's EBITDA multiple is currently at the low end of its historical range, reflecting depressed end markets and an unfavorable growth outlook, particularly in Europe. Elevated input costs further exacerbate the situation, despite plans for pricing increases to mitigate some financial pressures.
