ArcelorMittal reported a 62% year-on-year decline in net income to USD 683 million for the April-June 2026 quarter, despite an 8.4% quarter-on-quarter sales increase to USD 16.8 billion driven by higher steel prices and shipments. Crude steel production was slightly lower year-on-year but rose from the previous quarter. ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM NS India), in which ArcelorMittal holds a 60% stake, saw a 28.5% rise in EBITDA due to higher steel prices and margins. CEO Aditya Mittal highlighted improved profitability and a more balanced competitive environment from new tariff measures.
