ArcelorMittal income narrows in Americas

摘要

ArcelorMittal SA's operations in North America were hit by lower selling prices in the third quarter as global economic uncertainties continued to wallop the company, according to earnings data released Wednesday. The Luxembourg-based steelmaker's Flat Carbon Americas division recorded operating income of just $3 million in the three months ended Sept 30, down 98.4 percent from operating income of $193 million in the year-ago quarter. Sales slipped about 12 percent to roughly $4.84 billion in the same comparison.
