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

Nucor, NUE

SELL

Stock had a tremendous rise last fall and winter. Easy money has been made, and it's time to go away. A cyclical company.

HOLD

Good long-term track record. 5% dividend. There were some signs that flat-rolled prices were not going to collapse as the market had thought so the price has moved up and it is fully valued.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 2/05. Up 43.1%.) Looking for dividend increase in the 4th quarter. Dividend yield of 5.7%.

BUY

This one is really a service centre and pays around a 5% yield. There are not as exposed to a drop in prices on hot rolled steel.

DON'T BUY

Terrific potential, but the stock isn't cheap. If we are going into a recession, he doesn't want to be in a cyclical stock. Company's very well run and has a good balance sheet.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 31/06. Up 48.4%.) Have a lot of free cash flow. Continues to increase dividends.

HOLD

Increased their dividend to $.40. They trade steel and sell tubular goods. They have a variety of operations. Sales of tubular goods remain strong. Selling into the drilling of oil/gas.

SELL

Steel market has done really well this year. This company pays a great dividend. A little more insulated from the cycle than some of their competition. Decent dividend yield. If you own, consider taking some profit.

WEAK BUY

Prefers Ipsco (IPS-T). This one has less value added and probably a little more volatile. Cheaper on fundamentals, but for a reason.

BUY

A distributor of steel products. Excellent management. Long-term track record shows they are always profitable. Have been able to make accretive acquisitions. Yield is approximately 6%.

HOLD

Biggest steel distributor/fabricators in Canada. Throws off tons of cash and have a great dividend which they continue to increase. As long as the economy does well, he would keep this.

HOLD

A little worried about cyclical stocks in general if the economy slows down. A great cash generator. Good valuation. Likes the stock and the company.

DON'T BUY

Fabulously run company. Increased their dividend a couple of quarters ago so it tends to be a dividend play now. Finds it a little rich at this point.

TRADE

It's getting close to fully valued. The market is very well balanced as far as imports. This is a cyclical stock. Should sell at some point.

TOP PICK

Has a high dividend yield of approximately 4%. They will likely increase the dividend in the next year. Very shareholder friendly. A leader in their industry. Low P/E. Selling at about 8 X Price/Earnings ratio which gives a lot of downside protection.
