STAMFORD, Conn. , Sept. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tronox Holdings plc (NYSE:TROX) ("Tronox" or the "Company"), the world's leading integrated manufacturer of titanium dioxide ("TiO2") pigment, today provided an update on its previously issued third quarter 2022 outlook.
The Company now expects third quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA to be $240 -$255 million compared to the previously guided range of $275 -$295 million due to softer than anticipated TiO2 sales volumes and increasing energy costs in Europe .
"While orders in North America and Latin America have remained relatively in line with expectations, demand in Europe , Middle East , Africa and Asia Pacific is significantly softer than anticipated in the two months since our second quarter earnings call due to the challenging macroeconomic conditions within those regions," commented John D. Romano , co-chief executive officer. "Additionally, natural gas prices have continued to rise throughout Europe , resulting in increased energy costs at our plant in the UK and energy surcharges on process chemicals at our European sites."
Jean-François Turgeon, co-chief executive officer, added, "As a result of our multi-year transformation, which has resulted in a more operationally efficient company and strong balance sheet, we are well positioned to withstand a wide range of economic scenarios. At our investor day in June, we outlined a recession case that we still believe provides an accurate assessment of our ability to perform and manage through a downturn. Given the current market conditions, we are focused on meeting our customers' needs while aggressively managing costs. Importantly, our investments in the newTRON and Atlas Campaspe projects will continue to generate savings regardless of the macroeconomic environment. We have complete confidence in our global team's ability to lead Tronox safely and operate with agility and efficiency amid the increasingly challenging backdrop."
Tronox will release third quarter 2022 financial results after market close on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 , and host a webcast on Thursday, October 27, 2022 at 8:00 a.m. ET .

Investors listen to Warren Buffett because of his long-term ability to beat the S&P 500. Between 1965 and 2021, a 56-year timeframe, his Berkshire Hathaway portfolio has logged average returns of 20.1%. Berkshire has also beat the indexes in 2022, with Berkshire stock falling 6% since January versus almost 20% for the S&P 500.
Friday’s swoon in U.S. stocks is helping drive home a humbling message for investors: buying dips may have worked for the last decade, but it’s been a losing strategy so far in 2022. The S&P 500 has rallied four times this year by 6% or more, only to reverse course and make fresh lows. A repeat of that pattern may be in store as a sharp bounce in U.S. stocks earlier this week was faltering after Friday’s stronger-than-expected jobs numbers undercut hopes that the Federal Reserve would slow its monetary policy tightening anytime soon.
These surefire stocks are ripe for the picking following a 34% peak decline in the Nasdaq Composite.

Three major real estate investment trusts (REITs) are hitting new 2022 lows as investors unload in the classic just-get-me-out fashion. American Tower Corp. (NYSE: AMT), Digital Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: DLR) and Medical Properties Trust Inc. (NYSE: MPW) just can’t stop going down lately. The interest rate hikes made by the Federal Reserve Board seem to be hitting this sector hard. Each of these REITs already was declining, but the new lows this week are harsh reminders of the steady downtrend. M
The past two years have been downright awful for mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs).

The margin calls caused every mortgage REIT to sell parts of its portfolio at fire-sale prices to raise capital.
If you buy one between now and the end of October, you’ll earn a composite interest rate of 9.62%.
Legendary investor Warren Buffett's famous advice for investors is to be "fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful." Buffett has seemingly walked the walk as well, with his company Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) having purchased more than $57 billion of equities through the first six months of the year. In a little more than a month, Berkshire will submit its 13F regulatory filing for the public to see what stocks the company bought and sold in the third quarter of the year, which includes the months of July, August, and September.
