WATCH
Likes it but has sold shares from February to early April, because cyclicals get hit when the Fed tightens aggressively. Shares have fallen so far that it trades under 5x earnings; Wall St. worries earnings will plunge in 2023 after the Fed kills inflation (and high steel prices). The stock could be attractive now. Today, Nucor announced it will buy C.H.I. Overhead Doors (makes garage doors) and shares fell because it puzzled investors.
steel
BUY
It sold off hard this week. They last reported margin pressure which freaked out the street. He bought when this sank at $14 and his since risen, like 6% today. People get way too negative, too quickly, but take longer to get positive. Pays an okay dividend. It's an cyclical, but as extreme as others. Take advantage on the protective steel tariffs, which lets this stock blossom. This stock does well early in a rate-hike cycle. Also, Biden has passed his infrastructure bill, so that's a tailwind. Secondly, autos are in short supply at least for a quarter or two, and NUE makes steel for those. Thirdly, oil drillers need steel. It should be a core position, and it's levered to several industries. Strong management. It's a rare growth-cyclical stock which the market craves now. Trades at a low PE.
steel
BUY
American's biggest steelmaker. He's long heralded this as the best and cheapest way to play a recovery in autos and construction. However, analysts say that the infrastructure bill news was already baked into current shares. Wrong! After the infrastructure bill past last Friday, shares jumped 5% today, closing at 3.6%.
steel
BUY ON WEAKNESS
They're best of breed, led by strong management. Offers environmentally friendly practices in steel production and a solid balance sheet. Steel prices could remain stable and not slide, given onoing demand for steel. Plus, they're buying back a ton of shares and he thinks they will continue to. They have so much clash. They are one of the best cyclicals now. It's down 20% from its high; shares are on sale. GS just downgraded this unfairly.
