COMMENT
Biggest steel company globally. This is a longer pull and all depends on your view as to whether we are in a recovery phase or not. You need the economy to get going. Cheap enough on a valuation basis.
SELL
Seasonality comes in very strong at this time of year but unfortunately, this year, it is on the downside. Significantly underperforming the market at a time when seasonality is just starting to turn negative.
BUY

This is one of a deep global cyclicals and has been battered around. Not a bad time to take a look at this one.

WATCH

What do you think Chinese demand will be? That is the predictor of this stock. Prices are off and chart is awful. Well run but evident that people have concerns about Chinese demand. Watch until you see turn in Chinese demand.

DON'T BUY

Steel companies are really under the gun right now. Demand has slowed. There is a glut of supply and prices are falling very quickly. This company has a very high debt to cash flow ratio. It is very important to look at the leverage that they have. He owns a couple of their bonds, short dated ones. He prefers their debt because it ranks higher than their equity and doesn’t suffer if they cut the dividend.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) One of the largest steel companies globally. The steel business has had a very tough time and will continue to have that. There is massive overcapacity in China.

WAIT
It is mostly a European steel producer and is tied to steel prices. The question is will steel prices keep going higher. This can be affected by the Russian/Ukraine conflict. Also it is very exposed to appliances and autos and a bit to construction. The appliances and auto sectors are held up by the semi shortage so it is in the 'too hard to understand pile'.
DON'T BUY

Commodities move with the economic cycle. Likely this has peaked and is heading into a trough, so don't buy now. This stock hasn't done much since its 2008 peak. Maybe it's good for traders, but there are better companies that have growing free cash flow.
