Ternium SA (TX) Misses Q3 EPS by 69c, provides outlook
Ternium SA (NYSE: TX) reported Q3 EPS of $0.10, $0.69 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.79. Revenue for the quarter came in at $3.96 billion versus the consensus estimate of $4.01 billion.
Outlook
Ternium anticipates a slight decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter, largely due to the typical seasonal reduction in shipments in all of the company's markets. Ternium expects its Adjusted EBITDA Margin to remain in line with the third quarter, as a projected decline in revenue per ton in Mexico and Argentina should be largely balanced by ongoing reductions in cost per ton. This reflects lower raw material costs, as well as Ternium's ongoing commitment to implementing cost optimization strategies throughout its operations.
In Mexico, the company expects shipments to decline sequentially in the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting both subdued construction activity and end-of-year seasonality. The Mexican steel market continues to face challenges, particularly from ongoing tariff negotiations with the United States, which have contributed to an environment of uncertainty.
In Brazil, while the steel market continues to face significant challenges from a persistent influx of unfairly traded steel imports, particularly from Asian producers, Usiminas is proactively strengthening its competitiveness through ongoing cost reduction initiatives and operational improvements, leading to expectations of achieving a better cost per ton in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the previous quarter.
In Argentina, with the uncertainty related to the mid-term elections now behind us, the most dynamic sectors of the economy, such as agriculture, mining, and oil and gas, offer significant opportunities for the company's value chain.
