The company now sees second-quarter revenue at more than €4 billion ($4.3 billion), up from an earlier forecast of €3.9 billion and well above analysts’ estimates, it said in a statementBloomberg Terminal on Tuesday. The company said full-year sales will also be “meaningfully above” its previous estimate of about €15.5 billion, plus or minus €500 million.
