Answer
The press release you provided only contains Kronos Worldwideâs secondâquarter 2025 results and a brief discussion of why earnings fell versus the prior year.âŻIt does not include any forwardâlooking guidance from management for either:
- Q3âŻ2025 earnings or cashâflow
- FullâyearâŻ2025 earnings or cashâflow
All of the statements in the release are historical (Q2âŻ2025 performance, firstâhalf 2025 versus 2024, and the reasons for the decline). No figures, ranges, or outlooks for the third quarter or the remainder of 2025 are disclosed.
Therefore, based solely on the information you supplied, there is no guidance available from Kronos Worldwideâs management regarding Q3âŻ2025 or the fullâyearâŻ2025 earnings and cashâflow.
