Russel Metals (RUS-T) is capturing attention as it benefits from the ongoing shift towards hard assets and significant infrastructure development in Canada. Experts note its solid history and reputation for navigating economic downturns with resilience, despite a past dividend cut. The company boasts a decent dividend yield exceeding 4% and has showcased improving cash flow and balance sheet conditions, although tariff uncertainties pose potential risks. Analysts highlight its expanded presence in the U.S., which mitigates tariff impacts, and praise its management and capital allocation strategies. Price targets suggest there's further upside potential as the stock nears critical resistance levels.

DON'T BUY

Steel distribution business. Question is will it continue to be a good place to be. Steel prices are worldwide and if China slows down it will affect RUS through steel prices.

COMMENT

Relatively high dividend and these kinds of stocks have moved. Very economically sensitive. If you are thinking of selling something that was up that was a yield play, this would fit more than others.

COMMENT

Steel service centers. Big inventory. Cyclical business. Believes we are in a growth phase of the business cycle and people are overreacting to a lot of the political/economic noise. They did a convertible debt issue that he participated in.

BUY

We moved into the positive season for metals. The sector has been so compressed over the last couple of months that we have started the season early. We have broken through the trend line, which is very positive.

BUY

Dividend very safe, well run company. They had second year or year growth for second quarter. Steel demand is moderating here as is steel pricing. Management has a great ability to grow the company and make acquisitions. This is a name you could try to buy down here. A bit of a higher risk company.

BUY

Well managed and a decent yield. Increased their dividend twice in the last 12 months. Overall, the economy isn’t great, but steel prices held in reasonably well. Have stated they are going to payout 80% of their earnings in dividends so if the steel market gets bad, they will be cutting their dividends.

COMMENT

Recently sold his holdings in order to de-risk the portfolio and raise cash. Well managed and he thinks the dividend is safe. 70% Canadian and 30% US and would be at risk in an economic dip.

COMMENT

Steel distribution. Well run. Has done very well with China spurring the steel market. Also benefit from the oil and tubular goods in the oil patch. Good yield. His concern would be the potential slowdown in China.

HOLD

Good balance sheet and very well run. They are metal benders. They cut the distribution. 70% Canadian. There is room for a dividend increase but not this year. As long as momentum continues he is happy to hold it.

DON'T BUY

Probably at its high. The high he could see would probably be around $28. His model price is $30 and he doesn’t see much upside.

PARTIAL SELL

Thinks they will be reasonably cautious going into this environment. Very well run company. 4.1% yield but doesn’t expect a big dividend increase in the near term. A cyclical name so if you own and have made a profit, consider taking some off the table. Thins trader so it can get pushed around pretty quickly.

BUY

Likes this one. Stock has done well. Likes the industrial sector. If you believe that we are trudging along and the economy is moving, this is one that you want to own.

BUY

Metals and mining does well ¾ way through November. A very positive (ascending triangle). Very positive - when the lows are getting higher and higher. If the market starts to go it go will up.

BUY

Well managed company. Cyclical business. Good dividend. Cut dividends 18 months or so ago but did it for the right reasons. Have cash in the bank, which hopefully they will spend on buying more assets.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 20/09. Up 34.78%.) Holds some of their convertible debentures but not the shares.
