NL Industries: A Complex Little Performer To Watch
NL Industries trades at a material discount to book value, with a cash-rich, debt-light balance sheet and two well-performing operating entities. Ongoing litigation remains the primary risk, but recent settlements and case closures improve the forward outlook for NL. Financial forecasts suggest 5.7% revenue growth and 45.5% underlying net income growth, but margins remain volatile due to Valhi exposure.
