Good morning, you're tuned in to Markets Desk, where we're watching earnings and macro moves across the tape.
ArcelorMittal reported third quarter two thousand twenty six results this morning, with sales slipping one point eight percent to sixteen point five billion dollars, driven by a two point one percent decline in steel shipments quarter over quarter. The numbers reflect a softening demand environment in global steel, and investors will be watching closely for any forward guidance on pricing and volume recovery heading into year end.
Shifting to medtech, Artivion posted its third quarter two thousand twenty six earnings, with the cardiac surgery device maker continuing to navigate post-acquisition integration and supply chain dynamics. Artivion has been expanding its aortic repair portfolio, and the street will be parsing margins and revenue growth to see whether that expansion is translating into durable top-line momentum.
And over in Japan, Isuzu Motors reported higher first-half profit on stronger revenues, confirming its fiscal two thousand twenty seven net profit outlook while raising its pre-tax profit view. Despite that raised guidance, shares dropped, a classic case of the market having already priced in optimism and then reacting to what it sees as a ceiling rather than a runway for further upside.
That's the tape. Markets Desk, signing off the floor.
