Schaeffler's Q2 profit dropped 15.8% due to lower European demand and currency issues, missing analyst forecasts. CEO remains optimistic.
(Reuters) -German machine and car parts maker Schaeffler reported a lower than expected second-quarter operating profit on Wednesday, impacted by lower demand in Europe and negative currency exchange effects.
