This uncertainty has created a sense of caution among investors, leading to a decrease in confidence in the company's future prospects. Additionally, the announcement of restructuring charges, which contributed to a lower earnings per share, has also weighed on the company's performance. Furthermore, the company's decision to withdraw its financial targets suggests a lack of clarity on its future growth prospects, which has likely contributed to the negative sentiment surrounding the company.

Segmental Performance

The Casting and Extrusion segment reported a 5% decrease in sales, with extrusion tooling sales increasing, but die-cast tooling sales remaining soft.
