The main question: the share price moved +11.8% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −111.4%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Minerals Technologies share price today? Minerals Technologies Inc.'s share price was $63.44 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 9 weeks. That is 11.1% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $56 and $80, and at that close it sat 32% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 15 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +7% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 24 July 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Minerals Technologies pay? Minerals Technologies Inc. paid $0.47 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.12 for Jul 2026. At today's price of $63.44 that is a yield of 0.74%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Minerals Technologies on? Minerals Technologies is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Minerals Technologies profitable? Minerals Technologies Inc. posted a net loss of $184 M in the Jul 2026 quarter. The full FY25 year was a loss of $18.4 M. That loss is 33.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $45.4 M. 3 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. Jul 2026 profit was −$184 M, −504.4% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY25 profit was −$18.4 M (−111.0% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +3.7% on a year earlier and the margin moved −1.3 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −181.1% and revenue +4.2%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Minerals Technologies make, and is it growing? Minerals Technologies Inc. reported $548 M of revenue in the Jul 2026 quarter, +3.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 2.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $2.1 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.1 B. FY25 revenue was $2.1 B, −2.2% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +4.2% on average, against 2.8% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +4.1%, against +0.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Minerals Technologies keep? Minerals Technologies Inc.'s operating margin was 13.6% in the Jul 2026 quarter, 1.3 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 11.9% and 14.9%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.5 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Minerals Technologies' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 154% of Minerals Technologies Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $194 M of operating cash against −$18.4 M of profit. After $107 M of spending on assets, $86.6 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Minerals Technologies' cash go? Minerals Technologies Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $290 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 4.7% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $290 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Minerals Technologies' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Minerals Technologies Inc.'s P/E is 14.0×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −111.4% while the price moved +11.8%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +2.3% a year; about +37.8% a year came from earnings growth and about −35.5 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Minerals Technologies business getting better or worse? Minerals Technologies Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. Revenue growth is rising from its low at +4.1% while eps growth is falling at −4725.8%, so the lines disagree and each one tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading. ## How much does Minerals Technologies earn on its capital? Minerals Technologies Inc. earned a ROE of −1% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 4.3 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a −0.9% net margin and 0.60× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −0.9% net margin × 0.60× asset turnover × 1.98× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −1.1% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 12.8% − 8.5% = +4.3 percentage points. The 8.5% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. The 12.8% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 11.7%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Minerals Technologies have too much debt? Minerals Technologies Inc. has total debt of $965 M against shareholder equity of $1.6 B as of Jul 2026, so its debt is 0.61× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.68 in FY21 to 0.58 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Minerals Technologies shareholding pattern? 2.5% of Minerals Technologies Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.2 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Minerals Technologies from balance-sheet trouble? For Minerals Technologies Inc., the Z-score is 2.60. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.60 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does Minerals Technologies rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Minerals Technologies Inc. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Specialty Chemicals. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Minerals Technologies compared with?
