The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Demand was strong, supported by soaring rare metal and copper prices, demand to secure inventories of nonferrous metal recycling materials, and semiconductor-related demand driven by AI and data center investment. Semiconductor-related materials and electrical equipment materials in North America, as well as components for semiconductor manufacturing and assembly equipment, also contributed to profit.
