July 18 (Reuters) - German IT service provider Bechtle
BC8G.DE lowered its full-year guidance on Thursday and said
its second-quarter earnings before tax came clearly below market
expectations at around 83 million euros ($90.7 million).
Bechtle said it expects 2024 full-year results to be on par
with the previous year on business volume, revenue, earnings and
pre-tax profit margin.
Its shares fell as much as 7.4% following the unscheduled
preliminary earnings statement.
