Read MoreHide Full Article
Allegheny Technologies Inc. (ATI - Free Report) is a diversified specialty materials producer operating through two segments, High Performance Materials and Components, and Flat-Rolled Products.
Allegheny is gaining from its diversified global growth markets and cost reduction measures. The company is also seeing healthy demand from aerospace OEMs. However, Allegheny is exposed to certain challenges (including pricing pressure) in its Flat Rolled Products segment. Lower oil prices are also affecting demand for its products in the oil and gas market.
Let’s have a quick look at this Pennsylvania-based company’s first-quarter release.

The company expects the FRP segment to return to profitability at a low-single digit operating profit level, as a percentage of sales, in 2017. The company continues to project capital expenditure of $125 million for full-year 2017.
