Valhi is currently trading at about a 50% discount to its net asset value (NAV), consistent with recent historical levels. The company saw improved margins from its chloride process due to higher titanium dioxide prices and cost pressures on competitors using the sulphate process, but this margin advantage is diminishing as sulphur prices decline. Demand in key markets like US construction and Europe remains weak, raising doubts about sustained volume and pricing strength. While Valhi benefits from anti-dumping measures and temporary margin improvements, its exposure to commodity price swings and earnings volatility limit confidence in a strong value case based on NAV. Meanwhile, CompX, a part of Valhi's portfolio, shows steady progress and represents about one-third of Valhi's NAV.
