Mahle Metal Leve Lifts Q2 Profit 26% to US$29.6 Million Despite Softer Sales

Mahle Metal Leve, the Brazilian maker of pistons, bearings and filters, lifted second-quarter 2026 net income 26% to R$159.6 million (about US$29.6 million). Sales slipped 2.7%, but tighter costs and a positive financial result pushed the bottom line higher, keeping the company one of the B3's steadiest dividend payers.
