On the stock market since 2010, it operates in the world of raw materials. It has 5,750 employees. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. This is the most critical line in the whole picture.

An investor who bought at the very peak is down 78% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 23 buys and 14 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
The average analyst price target is $8.08 — 41% above today’s price.
It pays out $0.20 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $470M against $2.9B in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts less than a year. After that, the company needs to find new money.
On our five-subject report card, TROX sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: TROX has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (34/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
