Frank Esposito talks about these results in his blog post: Stock rally good news for publicly traded plastics stocks

The following sales were pulled from financial statements of the top public companies that appear in our processor rankings. For three months results, figures were captured for year over year comparisons of July, August and September 2023 versus 2022.  The data does not reflect company numbers as reported by named quarter.

For nine months results, figures were captured for year over year comparisons of January through September 2023 versus 2022. Aliaxis SA and CRH plc have only reported on the first half of 2023 to date.

Figures for the closest related segment are noted, otherwise sales represent total company sales. There is no intended correlation to our sales-based rankings. Foreign currency figures were converted to U.S. dollars.
