Q2 2026

Momentum: Management said business conditions improved through the first half, with positive momentum across all segments and further improvement expected.

Europe: Europe was the clear highlight, with Q2 EBITDA of $98 per tonne, a 3-year high, as order books strengthened, prices held up better than normal seasonality, and furnaces were restarted.

Q3 Outlook: The company guided to Q3 shipments that are stable to slightly higher than Q2, which management said would be a counterseasonal outcome.

Growth Plan: Management reiterated that strategic growth projects should add $1.8 billion of incremental EBITDA from 2026 onward, with $300 million already captured in H1.

Policy Tailwinds: The call emphasized support from trade measures in Europe and the U.S., including TRQ, CBAM, and Section 232-related policy, as well as the possibility of further regional protections over time.
