ArcelorMittal core profit more than doubles in first quarter
BRUSSELS, May 12 (Reuters) - ArcelorMittal , the
world's largest steel producer, said on Friday its core profit
in the first quarter had more than doubled as steel prices rose
and shipments increased.
Core profit (EBITDA) rose by 140 percent in the first
quarter to $2.231 billion, above the $2.097 billion expected in
a Reuters poll of 10 analysts.
Compared to the first quarter of 2016, ArcelorMittal grew
sales and core profit in all of its markets,
with the sharpest
increase in Europe.
