What's Happening?
Tredegar Corporation, a manufacturer specializing in aluminum extrusions and surface protection films, reported a significant decline in net income for Q2 2025. The company's net income from continuing operations fell to $1.8 million, down from $9.2 million in the same period of 2024.
