In other recent news, Metallus Inc. reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2025, showing a mixed performance.

In light of these earnings, KeyBanc Capital Markets maintained its Sector Weight rating on Metallus, citing increased costs and a less favorable pricing and product mix as reasons for a moderated outlook for the year. Despite these challenges, KeyBanc highlighted Metallus’s strong balance sheet and growth potential in the munitions sector for the latter half of 2025. Additionally, Metallus announced leadership changes, with Kristopher R. Westbrooks becoming the new president and chief operating officer and John M. Zaranec III stepping in as executive vice president and chief financial officer. These changes are effective starting June 16, 2025. The executive team shift underscores the company’s focus on strengthening its operational and financial strategies.
