Russel Metals (RUS-T) has garnered attention from various experts due to its strong positioning in the steel distribution market across both the U.S. and Canada. The company is perceived as somewhat insulated from steel tariffs thanks to its significant U.S. operations and recent acquisitions aimed at bolstering these capabilities. Analysts note the ongoing trends in hard asset investment and Canadian infrastructure growth as favorable for the company. Financially, Russel Metals offers a reasonable dividend yield over 4% and a solid balance sheet, although there are concerns regarding potential tariff impacts and economic sensitivity. The stock has shown a positive trajectory, with various experts suggesting strategic entry points for investment based on technical chart analysis and overall market conditions.

Consensus

Positive

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

Nucor, NUE

BUY

High yield is sustainable for the foreseeable future. As a distributor, not a manufacturer, there is a lag relationship with respect to Russel's profits on inventory and hence balance sheets. Very conservatively managed company. A conservative way to be exposed to steel. Spot price on steels is vulnerable so could affect them down the road.

DON'T BUY

Has been reducing his holdings and taking profit. A very profitable company. Nice dividend yield. Getting near the higher end of where it should be trading. Doesn't expect a lot of upside in the near term.

BUY

Has a very big yield. Has been profitable every quarter for the last 5/6 years. Well diversified in the steel product. Trading cheap at 10 X earnings.

BUY

Very low P/E ratio because they had very exceptional earnings this year. Good dividend. Really good management.

HOLD

Not sure he would buy in this stage of the cycle.

BUY

In a real sweet spot. They warehouse fabricate steel for end users. Excellent management. Good yield of almost 5%.

BUY

Dividend of about 5% making it a safe way to play the steels.

HOLD

Steel is a good commodity. China's building of infrastructure is going to persist for some time. A well run company. 5% dividend.

STRONG BUY

Strong management. Very welll positioned here in the cycle with the steel market and distribution manufacturing. Extremely strong balance sheet. Expects a strong dividend growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 27/04. Up 16%.) Still likes. Yield of 5%. Feels that steel prices are going ot remain firm. PE of 4 X trailing earnings. Will be volatile.

BUY

An excellent company. Made a fabulous recovery under current management. Have paid down debt, preferreds and increased profits and dividends. A cyclical. Yielding 5.3%.

BUY

Has had a litle pull back, but would be comfortable owning it.

HOLD

Had a good run from mid '03 up to $13. Believes it was a little bit over bought. Should be more upside, possibly to $15, but you should consider clearing some of your profit.

BUY

A nice dividend yield. Well run company. If you believe in the cyclical story of steel, this is not a bad story. Smart management.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Yields about 5%. A good stock.
