Valhi, Inc. (VHI) Scenario Analysis Analysis (2026)

Invetso Score: 5/10 — Balanced · Last Updated: 2026-08-01

Overall Score

Base Case

Valuation remains inexpensive with EV/Sales at 0.39x and P/FCF at 7.3x.

Liquidity is solid with a current ratio of 3.37x and quick ratio of 1.90x.

Profitability is still weak, with negative net margin (-1.8%) and ROE (-3.7%).

Bull Case

A recovery in margins could re-rate the stock given the low sales multiple and positive free cash flow yield of 13.7%.

Strong working capital and manageable near-term liquidity provide room for operational improvement.

Bear Case

Negative operating margin (-0.3%) and interest coverage below 1.0x keep downside risk elevated.

Net debt to EBITDA of 4.7x leaves the balance sheet sensitive if earnings remain weak.
