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.

Nucor, NUE

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 20/09. Up 22.3% excluding dividends.) Got out of most of his holdings but still owns a convertible debenture. Can be very cyclical.

DON'T BUY

Steel service centre, which makes them a very cyclical company tied into the economy.

WAIT

Metal distributor and is a North American play on industrial activity. Steel prices have improved this last year because of increased input costs. Capacity utilization is still quite low at about 70% and in order for steel prices to really stick, it has to be closer to 80%. Attractive dividend yield at 5.1%.

HOLD

Handled themselves very well. The auto sector is not at important to them as you would think. They will kick up their dividend as soon as they are able.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 20/09. Up 29.57%.)

RISKY

Recent numbers are beginning to show a distinct improvement. Deal with structural steal. Dividend looks okay, but is a bit more speculative.

BUY

Likes it for it’s high yield. High yield is >3%. They are quire levered to the price of steel. The dividend is reasonably safe and that’s why it’s in his portfolio. He hasn’t added to it lately. It is a half position.

HOLD

A good hold for the dividend. Not expecting it to go up anytime soon. A window onto the steel industry and the outlook is better but it's slow in coming.

HOLD

Good business and great management. Reasonable yield. If the steel business does not come back over the next 18 months they'll probably cut the dividend again.

TOP PICK

7.5% Convertible debentures. Very well run. Strong balance sheet so he knows he will get paid. Downside protection of a bond and if economy turns out stronger than he expects, he will make money from the free equity option.

DON'T BUY

Just did an equity issue. Does not like it enough. There are so many turn around companies with much better upside.

BUY

Has decent cash flow, decent dividend. You are getting a recovery. Valuation is reasonable. Cash flow will start to grow again. Would prefer a producer. Third quarter should look better because of the up tick in the auto industry.

RISKY

It’s a proxy on steel and iron. It’s a leveraged play. It depends on your opinion on what China is doing. If you think iron spot contract prices will have upward momentum, it is a good play to get into. Even though it is a dividend paying stock, it is still a proxy.

TOP PICK

Well managed company and pays a good dividend. Very cyclical and he thinks we are coming back to the point in the cycle where the car plants are starting up again and construction will get some stimulus.

HOLD

Likes this one. Has a good dividend. Have done extremely well through this period. Thinks they will get through this tunnel but we have to wait for steel demand to pick up.
