Assessment

Our Rating

A journalistic assessment by our editorial team at the time of the deep dive — it rates the company, not the entry point. Not investment advice and not a solicitation to buy or sell.

Open questions

The business works in principle, but one material question is open. As long as it stays open, our findings do not carry a quality verdict.

Why this colour

Red is clearly off the table: $105.0 million of cash against $.5 million of interest-bearing debt, equity of $359.3 million made almost entirely of cash and listed holdings, and a profitable operating subsidiary. Green is off the table too, because the earnings are set elsewhere: whether NL reports a profit or a loss depends on the titanium dioxide cycle at a business it does not own 69 percent of — that stake cost $15.0 million in 2023 and $33.9 million in 2025 and added $26.4 million in 2024. On top of that sits an open operating question on legacy liabilities: the upper end of possible environmental costs rose from about $26 million to about $38 million in a single quarter, about five sites cannot be estimated at all, and the filings state that new lead paint cases may still be brought. A company with a rock-solid balance sheet, a dependable small business and earnings it does not control — that is yellow. The fact that the stock trades below book and the float is tiny are price and structure questions, not quality questions; they belong in the text, not in the traffic light. The decision is yours.

What the thesis turns on

Assessment: Opportunities & Risks

NL Industries is the ownership illusion in its purest form: a stock at roughly 0.79 times book, yielding more than 6 percent, with a balance sheet that as of March 31, 2026 consisted almost entirely of market prices — $105.0 million of cash, a Kronos stake worth $231.4 million and $17.1 million of Valhi shares, against $.5 million of interest-bearing debt. The catch sits in the footnotes: no employees of its own, earnings set by a 31 percent stake (2025: −$33.9 million), a dividend other companies wire in (2026 expected: $20.3 million), and a majority holder at roughly 83 percent that in May 2026 had the statutory takeover brake voted away. Buying this means buying assets without control. Not investment advice.

Balance sheet & financial strength

As of March 31, 2026 there was $105.0 million of cash (including restricted funds) against $.5 million of interest-bearing debt, plus a $50 million revolving facility from the parent company with $49.5 million still available. Equity attributable to NL stockholders was $359.3 million — with only $27.2 million of goodwill on the books. No substance risk is visible.

Earnings quality

Reported earnings are set by a stake NL does not control: the 31 percent Kronos position cost $15.0 million in 2023, added $26.4 million in 2024 and cost $33.9 million in 2025. Net income attributable to NL stockholders accordingly swung from −$2.3 million to +$67.2 million and back to −$37.8 million, while net sales moved only between $145.9 million and $161.3 million.

Operating business (CompX)

CompX is unglamorous and dependable: $158.3 million of net sales in 2025 after $145.9 million a year earlier, Security Products reporting unit profit of $22.5 million at an 18.6 percent margin and Marine Components at $7.5 million. In the first quarter of 2026 segment profit rose to $7.1 million from $5.9 million on essentially flat net sales of $40.6 million.

Governance & control

Valhi held roughly 83 percent of the 48,862,734 shares as of March 31, 2026, and a Contran subsidiary roughly 91 percent of Valhi; only about 8.3 million shares are freely tradable. On May 26, 2026 the company reincorporated in Delaware, was renamed NLI Holdings and expressly opted out of the Section 203 anti-takeover statute. The float decides nothing.

Distribution

The dividend is covered but passed through: for 2026 NL expects inflows of $20.3 million (Kronos $7.0 million, CompX $12.9 million, Valhi $.4 million) and pays out roughly $19.5 million at $.10 per share per quarter — the rate declared for both the first and the second quarter of 2026. It can only rise if Kronos or CompX raise theirs — the special dividends recently swung between $.43 (2024) and $.21 per share (2025).

Legacy liabilities

The large payments are behind it — $101.7 million of lead pigment settlement finally paid in October 2025 and $56.1 million for Raritan Bay in the first quarter of 2025. What remains: $13.0 million of accruals for roughly 27 sites, an upper end that rose from about $26 million to about $38 million in one quarter, about five sites with no estimable range, and the statement that new lead paint cases may still be filed.

Worth Noting

NL Industries came onto the research list through our own raw-data screen of the U.S. universe: we looked for names trading below book value (price-to-book roughly 0.79) that also showed a dividend yield above 6 percent and negative earnings per share (−$.69 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2026, rolled forward from the annual report 10-K for 2025 and the quarterly report 10-Q for March 31, 2026; price and valuation data as of July 29, 2026). The lists produced by our in-house stock scanner are recomputed daily and are therefore deliberately not cited as evidence.

The most recent periodic report is the quarterly report 10-Q for March 31, 2026 (filed May 6, 2026). Everything filed after it was reviewed together with its exhibits: the 8-K of May 6, 2026 (Items 2.02 and 9.01, first quarter results), six insider filings (Form 4) of May 15, 2026, the 8-K of May 14, 2026 (Items 5.07, 7.01 and 9.01 — the annual meeting approving the reincorporation and the Section 203 opt-out, plus the press release in which the board also declared the $.10 per share dividend for the second quarter of 2026, payable June 23, 2026), Form SD of May 19, 2026 (conflict minerals, incorporating the disclosure of subsidiary CompX, no effect on the picture) and the 8-K of May 26, 2026 (Items 1.01, 2.01, 2.03, 3.03, 5.02, 5.03 and 9.01, with Exhibits 2.1 plan of merger, 3.1 Delaware certificate, 3.2 bylaws, 4.1 description of capital stock and 10.1 form of indemnification agreement — completion of the reincorporation in Delaware and the renaming to NLI Holdings, Inc.). Nothing has been filed after May 26, 2026 through the July 29, 2026 data cut-off — in particular no prospectus (424B*), no registration statement (S-3) and no deregistration form (25 or 15). Every present-tense statement about cash, credit facility, equity, debt, environmental accrual and ceiling, the board, the state of incorporation, the Section 203 status, the voting arrangement, the share count and the dividend reflects that status.

On the share count: the cover page of the quarterly report 10-Q states exactly 48,862,734 shares outstanding as of May 1, 2026, while Exhibit 4.1 to the 8-K of May 26, 2026 ("Description of Capital Stock") already gives 48,898,734 as of May 26, 2026 — 36,000 shares, or 0.07 percent, more. The text uses the 10-Q figure throughout because it belongs with the March 31, 2026 balance sheet; wherever a present-tense statement is made, the newer figure is given alongside it. The difference changes none of the derived measures: book value per share is $7.35 on either basis. On the market capitalization cross-check: the roughly $283 million on file works out to about $5.79 per share; against book value of $7.354 per share from the same balance sheet that gives a price-to-book ratio of roughly 0.79 — precisely the figure shown in the fundamental data. No NL share price is documented in any filing, which is why the cross-check runs through share count and book value. Analyses here are evergreen; daily prices are not an argument to buy.

Easily confused: titanium dioxide producer Kronos Worldwide (NYSE: KRO) is a separately listed company and is expressly not consolidated by NL — Kronos revenue appears nowhere in NL's figures, only NL's share of its profit or loss. Nor is parent company Valhi, Inc. (NYSE: VHI) part of NL's consolidation scope, even though NL owns 1.2 million Valhi shares. Comparing NL metrics with those of Kronos or Valhi means comparing three different reporting entities.

Read the Full Deep Dive NL Industries: $105 Million in Cash, Not a Single Employee — and a Dividend That Arrives in the Mailbox The stock trades below book value, yields more than 6 percent and sits on a pile of cash. Sounds like the bargain you have been waiting for. The filings with the U.S. securities regulator, the SEC, tell a different story: NL Industries has no employees of its own, its reported earnings are set by a company it only owns 31 percent of — that stake cost $33.9 million in 2025 and pushed the group to a $37.8 million loss — and the payout comes from dividends other companies wire in. Since May 26, 2026 the company has been called NLI Holdings, is incorporated in Delaware and has opted out of the statutory anti-takeover protection, while its majority holder owns 83 percent. Not investment advice — just the question of why a discount sometimes lasts for decades. Read the analysis →

Valuation

P/E ?Price-to-earnings ratio: how many years of profit does the stock cost? The lower, the cheaper the valuation. No earnings means no P/E. –
Forward P/E ?P/E based on expected earnings for the next 12 months instead of past earnings — analysts' bet on the future. 26.2
PEG ?P/E divided by expected earnings growth: puts valuation in relation to growth. Around 1 is considered fair, well above that is pricey. –
P/B ?Price-to-book ratio: market value relative to book equity. 1.0
P/S ?Price-to-sales ratio: market value divided by annual sales. Important for companies that aren't (yet) profitable. 2.1
EV/EBITDA ?Enterprise value including debt (EV) relative to operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) — more comparable than P/E because debt counts too. Extreme values arise when EBITDA is near zero. 8.9
Price/FCF ?Market value divided by free cash flow: how many years of freely available cash does the stock cost? More honest than P/E because cash flow is harder to dress up. 41.9

Profitability

Gross Margin ?Gross margin: what's left of sales after only direct production costs are deducted — the product's pricing power. 32.1%
EBIT Margin ?EBIT margin: operating profit as a percentage of sales — the earning power of the core business before interest and taxes. –
Net Margin ?Net margin: what's left of sales as profit after ALL costs, interest, and taxes. -15.8%
Return on Equity ?Return on equity: how much profit does the company generate per year on shareholders' equity? -8.0%
Return on Assets ?Return on assets: how much profit the company generates from its total assets (equity and debt combined). 3.7%

Balance Sheet & Safety

Equity Ratio ?Equity ratio: equity as a share of total assets. The higher, the more resilient the balance sheet. –
Debt/Equity ?Leverage ratio: financial debt divided by equity. Under 1 is generally seen as solid; negative values mean negative equity. 0.00
Altman Z″ ?Edward Altman's bankruptcy early-warning score. We use the Z″ variant, built from four balance-sheet ratios — it is designed for service companies and non-manufacturers and uses book value instead of market value. On that scale: below 1.1 = danger zone, 2.6 and up = safe zone, in between a grey area. Because the classic Altman Z is calculated differently, the two numbers are not directly comparable. The formula does not fit banks, insurers, or real-estate stocks. fortress balance sheet 10.86
Piotroski ?Balance-sheet health check by Joseph Piotroski: 9 yes/no criteria on profit, cash flow, leverage, and efficiency. 7+ is very solid, under 3 is a red flag. 6 out of 9

Dividend Per Share (TTM) ?Sum of dividends paid per share over the last 12 months. 0.59$

Increase Streak ?How many years in a row the dividend has been raised — the gold standard for dividend payers. 0Years

Quality & Screener

RS Rating ?Relative strength from 1 to 99: an RS of 95 means the stock has outperformed 95% of all stocks. 38
EPS Rating ?Earnings growth rating from 1 to 99 versus all stocks — high values mean above-average earnings growth. Top 10% 95
Fundamental Rating ?Our own Fundamental Rating: 0 to 100 points with an A+ to F grade. 50 points is the average across the universe, 100 the best possible score. It scores growth, earnings surprises, analyst estimates, margins, cash flow, and balance-sheet safety — every stock percentile-ranked against all others.

What Do These Terms Mean?

EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.

Valuation

What is priced in?

Instead of guessing what the stock is worth, we turn the question around: what free cash flow growth has to happen for today’s market value to add up? The assumptions behind it can be moved.

Today’s market value implies roughly 27.4% growth in free cash flow per year over ten years (assumptions: discount rate 10.0%, terminal growth 2.5%).

What is priced in?
Free cash flow (last twelve months) $4.2M
Market cap $348.0M
Free cash flow in year ten $46.8M
Terminal value as a share of market value 70.8%

It shows which assumption is built into today’s price, not whether that assumption will hold. Every assumption can be changed with the sliders; the figures move with them.
