Milacron (MCRN) Misses Earnings & Revenues in Q3

Zacks

Milacron Holdings Corp. MCRN manufactures, distributes, and services engineered and customized systems within the plastic technology and processing industry in North America, Europe, Asia, and internationally.

Milacron’s revenue growth will be driven by underlying market growth in key segments, geographic expansion of certain product lines, continued penetration of hot runners, and incremental share gain from new products. The company’s breakthrough Klear Can technology will be a game changer given its edge over traditional metal clans. Milacron’s cost-reduction initiatives will aid margins. However, pricing pressure in the Advanced Plastic Processing Technologies segment and impact of unfavorable foreign currency remain concerns.

We have highlighted some of the key stats from this just revealed announcement below:
