ZURICH, July 31 (Reuters) - Holcim HOLN.S is positive about the rest of 2026, giving the company the confidence to upgrade its full-year guidance, CEO Miljan Gutovic said on Friday.
"We had a strong start of the year and Q2 was really even stronger," Gutovic told Reuters after the building materials company reported better-than-expected second-quarter figures.
"Usually we do not upgrade in H1, but we felt the need to show the market how confident we are about the whole of 2026,” he said, adding that the third quarter had already started well in July.
