(Reuters) – Belgian materials technology and recycling group Umicore revised downwards on Monday its adjusted core operating profit outlook, hurt by a stronger-than-expected impact of the global semiconductor shortage and a decline in platinum group metal (PGM) prices.
The company now anticipates its full-year adjusted earnings before interest and taxes to approach 1 billion euros ($1.16 billion) versus the previous expectations to exceed it slightly.
