Orion Engineered Carbons reported Q1 2026 EPS of -$0.11, well below the $0.07 expected, while revenue of $459.5m beat estimates.

Free cash flow was negative $48m and net debt stands at $965m; management announced cost-reduction and working-capital measures. The company expects cash-flow improvement in Q3 and positive cash flow in Q4, contingent on more moderate oil prices. » Mais em de.investing.com
