ArcelorMittal today announces the publication of sell-side analysts’ consensus forecasts for ArcelorMittal’s first quarter 2014 Ebitda.

The consensus figures are based on sell-side analyst estimates recorded on an external web-based tool provided and managed by an independent company called Vuma Financial Services Limited (trade name: Vuma Consensus). 

To arrive at the consensus figures below, VUMA have aggregated the expectations of sell-side analysts who, to the best of our knowledge, cover ArcelorMittal on a continuous basis. This is a group of around 30 brokers currently. The listed analysts follow ArcelorMittal on their own initiative and ArcelorMittal is not responsible for their views.

On this page we provide the analyst estimates compiled by Vuma Consensus. ArcelorMittal is neither involved in the collection of the information nor in the compilation of the estimates.
