The Weir Group PLC Announces Guidance Remains Withdrawn While Covid-19 Uncertainty Remains for the Year 2020 As The Weir Group PLC looks ahead, while the business is performing well, it is too early to provide guidance on the full year given ongoing uncertainty due to Covid-19. More broadly, the long-term outlook for mining remains positive, supported by demographic trends, carbon transition, the long-term decline in ore grades and the need to reduce waste and water and energy consumption. Weir is ideally placed to help make its mining customers' operations smarter, more efficient and sustainable and it looks forward to unlocking more of these opportunities in the future.
