Tronox Holdings Plc's stock surged 7.01% in after-hours trading following the release of its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results. The movement occurred after the regular trading session closed on Wednesday.
While the company reported an adjusted loss per share of $0.60, missing analyst estimates of $0.47, revenue of $730 million exceeded expectations of $705.016 million, marking a 7.99% year-over-year increase. The positive price reaction appears driven by the revenue beat and management's forward-looking guidance, which indicated that TiO2 pricing is expected to increase in the first quarter of 2026.
Additionally, Tronox provided guidance for the first quarter of 2026, forecasting adjusted EBITDA between $55 million and $65 million. The company also expressed expectations to generate positive free cash flow in 2026, contributing to investor optimism despite the quarterly loss.
