Orica said it is currently not experiencing immediate constraints related to the conflict in the Middle East. The company noted that there may be future impacts to energy or raw material costs and will work to mitigate potential impacts by leveraging global manufacturing and supply network.
Orica will announce half year results on 7 May 2026.
Orica shares are trading at A$20.92, down 3.42%.
