LSB Industries (LXU) Q2 Profit Drops 69%
LSB Industries (NYSE:LXU), a chemical manufacturer focused on ammonia and related nitrogen products for agricultural and industrial customers, released its results for the second quarter on July 29, 2025. Revenue (GAAP) climbed to $151.3 million, up from $140.1 million a year earlier, the figure missed GAAP estimates of $158.5 million. Earnings per share (GAAP) came in at $0.04, well below the $0.14 GAAP consensus estimate, and net income declined sharply relative to the previous year. Profit margins compressed as higher natural gas prices erased much of the benefit from increased sales and improved product mix. Overall, the quarter brought solid sales progress but raised concerns about the company's near-term profitability, given the level of cost pressure seen during the period.
