Company outlook confirmed

Share price after the results: +20.8%

No guidance change: stable volumes expected for the rest of the year, better prices and demand hoped for in the second half, Europe stays challenging.

Supporting passage from the call, verbatim
“silicon case finalized, we expect to begin seeing improved prices and demand in the second half.”

The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
