Stock Track | Tronox Plummets 5.05% Intraday on China Plant Closure Amid Weak Demand
Stock Track
Jan 29
Tronox Holdings plc (TROX) saw its shares plummet 5.05% during Thursday's intraday trading session.
The sharp decline followed news that the company is closing its Fuzhou pigment plant in China, resulting in 550 job cuts. The closure is attributed to weak domestic demand in China and increasing operational costs, signaling potential challenges in one of its key markets.
While Truist Securities raised its price target on Tronox to $8 from $7, maintaining a Buy rating, the negative impact of the plant closure news appeared to outweigh this positive analyst action in today's trading.
