Outokumpu's Q3 adjusted EBITDA was EUR 101 million, which was broadly in line with expectations. Revenue was EUR 1,555 million. Stainless steel deliveries decreased by 7% quarter-on-quarter as demand weakened in Europe. However, the Americas business delivered its best earnings in three years. A much weaker-than-expected outlook overshadowed the earnings: Q4'26 adjusted EBITDA is estimated to be at the same level as the EUR 10 million reported in Q4'25.
