On August 7, Amrize Ltd declined 8.88% in pre-market trading, trading at $46.67/share, with turnover of $614,300. The sell-off was triggered by the company's Q2 earnings miss and a downward revision to full-year profit guidance.
Specifically, Amrize reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.88, missing the analyst consensus of $0.94 by 6.38%. While revenue of $3.494 billion topped the $3.365 billion estimate, adjusted EBITDA came in at $986 million, approximately 2% below consensus, primarily weighed down by deteriorating margins in the building materials segment due to oil price-driven cost inflation. The company simultaneously lowered its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance from $3.25 billion–$3.34 billion to $3.1 billion–$3.2 billion, further undermining investor confidence. Analysts noted that pricing adjustment lag effects are expected to continue pressuring profitability in the second half.
The company did raise its full-year revenue guidance to $12.5 billion–$12.7 billion from the prior $12.29 billion–$12.52 billion range, surpassing the FactSet estimate of $12.45 billion, and maintained its quarterly dividend at $0.11 per share.
