Growth

Quaker Chemical's revenue grew a modest 2.7% year-over-year to $1.9B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 38/100.

Leverage

Quaker Chemical carries a low D/E ratio of 0.61, meaning only $0.61 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 90/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Earnings Quality Mixed

-54.84x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Quaker Chemical generates $-54.84 in operating cash flow ($136.5M OCF vs -$2.5M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage At Risk
