Executive summary
Reported a net loss attributable to stockholders of $7.8 million ($0.16/share) for Q3 2025, compared to net income of $36.0 million ($0.74/share) in Q3 2024, mainly due to equity losses in Kronos and unrealized losses on marketable securities.

Results were impacted by significant equity losses from Kronos and lower dividends.

Interest and dividend income decreased to $2.1 million in Q3 2025 from $2.7 million in Q3 2024, with corporate expenses rising due to higher litigation fees.
Outlook and guidance
CompX expects Security Products sales to improve in 2025, mainly from government security markets, but softness in transportation and tool storage markets will partially offset gains.
Marine Components sales are expected to increase, driven by government and industrial demand and a one-time stocking event.
Kronos anticipates continued weak demand and lower operating rates in Q4 2025, with full-year results expected to be below 2024 due to pricing pressure and lower fixed cost absorption.
Management highlighted ongoing global uncertainty, trade policy impacts, and customer hesitancy to build inventories, prolonging the market downturn for TiO2.
Kronos is implementing cost reduction initiatives and expects to benefit from recent industry capacity reductions and anti-dumping duties in 2026.
Address Kronos' unabsorbed fixed production costs.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
