Copper producer Aurubis beats market view for nine-month core profit Aug 6 (Reuters) - Europe's largest copper producer Aurubis NAFG.DE reported nine-month earnings above market expectations on Thursday, driven by higher metal prices and improved revenue in its sulfuric acid unit.
Operating pre-tax earnings rose to €374 million ($432 million) in the nine months through June, compared with €286 million a year ago. That beat analysts' average forecast of €363 million provided by the company.
