KRT Earnings Call
Q3 2025
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
Despite strong sales growth and strategic expansions, the company faced significant challenges with decreased margins, lower net income, and softness in the retail channel. The introduction of a stock repurchase program and expansion in new product categories indicate confidence in future growth, but current financial pressures temper the overall outlook.View all KRT earnings summariesKRT Stock 12 Month Forecast
