The company reported earnings of $18.8 million, or an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.11, for the third quarter. These figures missed analysts' consensus estimates, which had projected an EPS of $0.16. Additionally, Ferroglobe's revenue for the quarter came in at $433.533 million, falling short of the expected $443.4 million.
