(Reuters) -Metals recycling group Umicore reported on Friday a 24% fall in half-year core profit and booked a 1.6 billion euro impairment for its battery materials division in the face of weak demand for electric vehicles. The maker of catalytic converters and battery materials for carmakers has decided to postpone a "large scale" investment in an unspecified battery recycling plant in Europe due to EV market weakness. It will also delay a battery materials plant investment in Canada as it launches a strategic review of its business.
Investing.com -- Brussels-listed shares in Umicore SA (EBR:UMI) were trading higher by more than 4% on Wednesday after analysts at JPMorgan upgraded their rating of the maker of catalytic converters and battery materials to "Overweight" from "Underweight."
