Kennametal: Visible Near-Term Weakness
I assign a hold rating to Kennametal stock due to ongoing weakness in its Metal Cutting segment and lack of near-term recovery catalysts. KMT's 2Q25 earnings report shows continued declines in revenue and organic growth, with significant deterioration in the Metal Cutting segment. Management's downward revision of FY25 guidance underscores poor demand trends, making a near-term turnaround unlikely.
