FMC expands debt-reduction plan via India sale; updates 2026 outlook.

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The quarter shows material EBITDA/earnings weakness and a revised, still-lower growth outlook, pressuring near-term multiples. However, asset-sales and upfront licensing cash create a clearer path to deleveraging, which could limit downside and set a foundation for multiple expansion once debt burden recedes. Historical analogs show that large asset-sales can unlock value but require closing certainty and time; until those proceeds materialize and offsets to India are realized, sentiment remains cautious.
