Reason
Jefferies upgraded Quaker Houghton to Buy from Hold with a price target of $146, up from $115. The firm says that solid margins and return on capital employed above 2019 levels despite soft end markets, a 64% cut in the stock's valuation over four years leading to share prices last seen when earnings per share were less than $5, and a 7% free cash flow yield mark Quaker as a "good quality-at-a-reasonable-price candidate." The company's earnings are likely to inflect in 2026, shifting the focus to the company's competitive advantage and cyclical leverage, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Jefferies says a re-rating to match Quaker's quality compounder peers would imply a $245 share price in 2027.

Piper Sandler analyst Charles Neivert lowered the firm's price target on Quaker Houghton to $140 from $170 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm cites Q4 2024 and FY2024 earnings, updated 2025 guidance changes in its macro outlook both domestically and globally and some recent channel checks. The channel checks have shown scant evidence of any signs of recovery, and in some cases indicate small amounts of retrenchment, Piper notes.

Reason
Piper Sandler analyst Charles Neivert downgraded Quaker Houghton to Neutral from Overweight with a price target of $170, down from $200. The firm says its diminished growth outlook for chemicals is predicated on "several underlying fundamental factors largely emanating" from structural issues in the economies outside the U.S., especially Europe and Asia, with China's role dominating the outlook. Piper also sees significant downside risk based on some of the policies now being considered by the incoming Trump administration, primarily policies which will increase oil and gas production well beyond current levels and tariffs which might meet retaliatory pushback. It believes Quaker Houghton may be subject to slower growth in earnings through 2026 based on its product portfolios and the industries and regions it has substantial ties to.
