Quaker Houghton price target raised to $171 from $149 at RBC Capital

RBC Capital raised the firm’s price target on Quaker Houghton (KWR) to $171 from $149 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company posted a slight Q3 beat as it continues to gain share and execute on its recent bolt-on acquisitions despite weakness and negative growth in North America and Europe, the analyst tells investors in a research note. APAC remains a bright spot, and RBC believes that Quaker should continue to outperform end markets in 2026, especially given its recent optimism and guide to a higher Q4 y/y, the firm added.
