UPDATE 5-Thyssenkrupp cuts profit forecast as steel demand wanes
German conglomerate Thyssenkrupp cut its annual forecasts for sales and net profit for the second time in three months, blaming lower demand and prices at its steel unit, half of which is to be sold to Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky. The scaled-back guidance underscores a challenging environment for companies focused on capital goods, which need to tackle elevated inflation, raw materials price swings and cooling global demand. It comes less than three weeks after Thyssenkrupp announced a deal to sell 20% of its steel business to Kretinsky's EPCG, a process that has led to a rift with powerful workers that accuse the group's CEO Miguel Lopez of not keeping them in the loop.
