Russel Metals (RUS-T) is gaining attention for its strong positioning in the shift towards hard assets and the infrastructure development in Canada. Analysts have noted that the company has a solid chart but recommend waiting for a price dip for buying opportunities. The stock offers an attractive dividend yield over 4% and has a long-standing history of weathering economic downturns without taking on excessive material risk. The recent expansion into the U.S. market has lessened the impact of tariffs, and the management's focus on capital allocation and stock buybacks contributes to its robust financial profile. While there are uncertainties regarding steel prices and tariffs, overall, the company is poised for growth due to rising demand for infrastructure materials.

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

Nucor, NUE

COMMENT

Hitting heavy resistance at about 2 X its book value. His FMV is 2.5 to 3 X the current price.

TOP PICK

Fabricator and tubular steel. More cash than debt on the balance sheet. Trades at 10 X earnings. 6% yield. Takeover candidate.

HOLD

Good dividend and appears to be relatively safe. Can't see any incentives for buying this today.

HOLD

Would look at this as a bit of a trade. Very good dividend. Outlook for the steel industry is mixed. You want to own this one in a bullish economic cycle. Very good operators.

HOLD

Very attractive dividend yield. One of the better managed companies in Canada.

DON'T BUY

Pays a high dividends because people don't think the earnings are sustainable. Cyclically sensitive. Auto-parts industry is facing difficult times.

DON'T BUY

Steel warehousing and distributing. Generates a lot of cash. A cyclical business and in an economic turndown they may not be able to pay the big dividend.

DON'T BUY

If you want something beyond the next year or two, this is a good pick. Less cyclical than a lot of the steel businesses. Steel prices are coming down dramatically. Expect the stock will go down in the next year,

HOLD

Metal distributor in such material as rebar, etc. Does very well when the building environment is strong. Has been a very good stock and has been on his radar screen but easy money has been made. Very well managed company.

COMMENT

His measure of its fair market value potential is huge. Its weakness is that it is pressing against its Price to Book level, which historically has been a difficult hurdle for it.

BUY

Where they play in the steel sector makes them a lot less cyclical. Cash flow shows a pretty stable business. Undervalued long-term. Great dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 3/05. Up 39%.) A well-run company that is paying out a lot of dividends. Their working capital management is great. Inventory turns are spectacular. One of the cheapest stocks on the TSX.

DON'T BUY

5% yield, which has helped, hold the price up. Timing wise, not the best entry point.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 2/05. Up 50.8%.) The dividend yield of 5.7%. Whenever they have earnings, the return it in the form of dividends. Excellent management.

HOLD

A great company and very well run. Rather than buying things, it is paying more money out to the shareholders.
