Russel Metals (RUS-T) is garnering attention from experts for its solid performance and strategic advantages, particularly its cross-border business operations in Canada and the U.S. The company's expansion, notably through acquisitions, has fortified its position against steel tariffs that typically impact the industry. With a decent dividend yield exceeding 4%, and a reputation for managing inventory effectively with minimal capital risk, it has remained resilient even through economic downturns. Analysts recognize its attractive valuation and potential for growth, particularly related to infrastructure projects in both countries. The overall sentiment suggests that while the share price is currently extended, there are opportunities for buying at strategic levels, indicating a cautious, yet optimistic outlook.

PAST TOP PICK

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

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.
