Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
What do the Estimates Indicate?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Ternium’s second-quarter consolidated sales is currently pegged at $4,573.6 million, which calls for an increase of 16.7% from the year-ago quarter’s tally.
Some Factors at Play
The company is likely to have benefited from higher prices and improved shipment volumes in the June quarter. Shipments in Mexico, in the second quarter, are likely to have been driven by strong demand from industrial customers and an improvement in automotive. Healthy demand for construction materials, energy and automotive are expected to have supported shipments in Argentina.
Ternium is also expected to have benefited from higher realized steel prices in the second quarter. Higher realized prices are likely to have driven its margins.
However, higher costs are likely to have affected the company’s performance in the June quarter. Ternium is seeing higher costs for many of its raw materials along with increased slab costs.
