Here are also Aapeli’s preliminary comments, as Metso announces its Q3 results on Thursday. 
We expect the company’s margins to have returned to more normal levels after a weaker previous quarter, and this also to have driven moderate earnings growth for the company compared to the reference period. We also forecast the company’s order intake to have seen slight growth. On the report, our focus will naturally be on more detailed market comments, but we do not expect any other significant news after the recently held CMD.
