ArcelorMittal has announced the publication of second quarter 2012 EBITDA sell side analyst consensus figures. The consensus figures are based on analyst estimates recorded on an external web based tool to be provided and managed by an independent company called Vuma Financial Services Limited (trade name Vuma Consensus).
To arrive at the consensus figures below, VUMA have aggregated the expectations of sell side analysts who, to our best knowledge, cover ArcelorMittal on a continuous basis. This is a group of about 30 brokers currently. The listed analysts follow ArcelorMittal on their own initiative and ArcelorMittal is not responsible for their views.
ArcelorMittal provides analyst estimates compiled by Vuma Consensus, and ArcelorMittal is neither involved in the collection of the information nor in the compilation of the estimates.
