Company outlook lowered
Share price after the results: +1.8%The earnings per share guidance was lowered because margins are below expectations, while the sales outlook holds.
“Just as we look out to 2027, I know you won't give guidance, but just some of the key buckets, the margins as we look out to 2027, reinvestment to reinvigorate North American volumes, commodity pressure, given that's a big change for Q4, any incremental cost savings thoughts, those would all be helpful just …”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
