IN BRIEF: Victrex quarterly revenue down as impacted by destocking

Victrex PLC - Lancashire, England-based polymer solutions company with sustainable products aiming for environmental and societal benefits in multiple end-markets - Says the third quarter ended on June 30 has seen "further improvement" in average selling prices due to price increases, sales mix and currency. However, the firm sees ongoing "macro-economic weakness and destocking across several end markets".
