Valhi Inc ( (VHI) ) has released its Q3 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Valhi Inc presented to its investors.

Valhi, Inc. is a diversified holding company involved in the chemicals, component products, and real estate management and development sectors. In its latest earnings report, Valhi, Inc. announced a significant turnaround with net income reaching $57.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, a notable improvement from a net loss of $5.8 million in the same period of 2023. This positive shift is largely attributed to enhanced performance in its Chemicals Segment and strategic acquisitions. Key financial metrics reveal a substantial boost in the Chemicals Segment, with net sales increasing by 22% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the previous year. This surge is driven by higher sales volumes, despite a dip in average selling prices. The acquisition of the remaining interest in Louisiana Pigment Company further bolstered this segment’s performance. However, the Component Products and Real Estate Management segments experienced declines in sales due to reduced demand in specific markets and delays in developmental activities, respectively. Looking ahead, Valhi, Inc. remains cautiously optimistic, focusing on integrating recent acquisitions and navigating market challenges to sustain its growth trajectory.
