1442 GMT -- BASF is among the most mentioned companies across news items over the past seven hours, according to Factiva data. The German chemicals company reported its preliminary results for 2023 on Friday, and saw sales and earnings figures come in below both guidance and consensus expectations. The company said results were hurt by lower margins and a 1.1 billion euro ($1.20 billion) impairment. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva. (nina.kienle@wsj.com)(END) Dow Jones Newswires01-19-24 1009ET
