ReutersSaint-Gobain sees 2024 double-digit operating margin despite difficult market
(Reuters) -French construction materials group Saint-Gobain on Thursday said it is aiming for a double-digit operating margin in 2024 despite a difficult market that dragged its 2023 annual sales down 6.4%. "In Western Europe, renovations will continue to show resilience, while new construction will remain difficult but will gradually reach a low point country by country, in a market that remains structurally healthy given its construction needs," CEO Benoit Bazin said in a statement. In a call with journalists, Bazin added that there is a "structural unmet need for housing" in Western Europe, North America and Asia, which could reverse the new-construction division's downward curb.
