Bull points
- our global footprint allows us to take advantage of that because we have inventory positioned because of the location of our assets allows us to respond quicker to ups and downs in demand
- we've finally seen what we would say is a good indicator of the front end of a real recovery. So as we continue to move through the rest of the year, we'll evaluate that.
- $774 million, an increase of 9% compared to the prior year or 13% sequentially, driven by higher revenue from both TiO2 and zircon.
Bear points
- There has been an impact on company's ability to move material and the time to move material from one country to another has been impacted
- China is still kind of an unknown. So if China recovers, you'll start to see impact not only on TiO2 but on zircon as well.
- net loss of $9 million.
