Earnings call transcript: Metair posts higher profit in H1 2026 as debt falls

Metair Investments reported a significant improvement in its first-half profit for the six months ending June 30, 2026, as the South African automotive supplier benefited from cost control, debt refinancing, and better manufacturing efficiency.
