$WLK Westlake reports Q3 adjusted EPS $1.41, consensus $2.20 Reports Q3 revenue $3.12B, consensus $3.31B. "During the third quarter of 2024, global macroeconomic trends modestly improved from the environment we saw in the second quarter of 2024 with relatively solid and improving conditions in North America, a continuing recovery in Asia, and slow improvement in Europe. Demand for our products during the third quarter was consistent with these market conditions, and our third quarter financial results would have reflected these trends if it had not been for extended maintenance outages at two plants during the quarter in our PEM segment. While we are disappointed with this operational performance, we have completed the maintenance and these plants have returned to service. Furthermore, we are applying the lessons learned from these incidents to other plants, while increasing our focus on preventive maintenance across our organization to improve the reliability of our plants," said Jean-Marc Gilson, President and Chief Executive Officer.
