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.

COMMENT

(Market Call Minute.) In this sector, it would be a Buy. Great dividend.

BUY

Exposed to the overall decline in commodity prices and fears of a slowdown. Not a typical metals company, more of a distribution arm, which gives them a little more protection. If you have a 3 to 5 year time horizon it is a compelling value. Good yield and well managed.

BUY

Economically sensitive and that’s why the multiple has come down. Address their niche markets very well. IF we go into a prolonged slowdown then there will be some pressure on their earnings, but his research suggests the dividend is safe.

HOLD

Thinks they will hold their dividend. Good balance sheet.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Held up better than he expected.

BUY

Metals distributor company, primarily steel. Very strong cash flows. Pays a very strong dividend.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

This one has always been a difficult call. It all depends on what steel prices are doing. Dividend is quite good. Well run, well-managed company. Would be interested on any kind of a weakness.

TOP PICK

Chose this for the regular distribution. No net debt. $500 million in inventory. Beneficiary of an uptick in tubular for the oil patch. 6% dividend with a history of paying out all of its earnings in a dividend. Long-term growth profile.

COMMENT

This is a great yield stock at 6.4%. They can probably maintain their dividend, but where they are going to be hit is on the rebar side. Doesn't see a lot of building going to be going on.

HOLD

Great dividend as well as a great balance sheet. Management is excellent and have said that they will live through the cycle. So much free cash flow and such a good balance sheet that even though there is economic sensitivity they will pay through the downturn.

TOP PICK

Has been forming a potential reverse head and shoulders pattern. If it breaks above $26.80 it should go up to about $31. Fundamentally, the company has very strong first-quarter results. Earnings for the whole year are going to be up about 15%-20%.

HOLD

A hold here. The cycle seems to be heading down. The yield is good.

HOLD

Suspect of the share price in the past. Terrific operator, good yield on the stock, but the dividend is a bit suspect. Target in the high twenties.

HOLD

Largely a distributor of rebar and metals that go into building projects. There has been a slowdown, which could affect this stock. For a long-term holder, he has no problems with this one. Has a pretty generous dividend at 7.2%.

DON'T BUY

He would be suspect of the 7% dividend.. Have a very good operation in terms of trading steel, et cetera. Have shown some good numbers. Very good operator. This is a cyclical, so when the economy is rolling down, they will suffer somewhat.
