The reviews from different experts suggest that ASTL is a stock with potential for growth but also has its risks. Some experts view it as a strong performer in the morning, fitting the inflation theme and benefiting from protectionism. However, others highlight the stock as a 'sleeper' with low valuation, little growth, and a levered balance sheet. Despite achieving targets and triggering stops, the stock is still recommended by some experts to be trailed up or covered at this time.

ALC is kind of a 'sleeper' stock, offering not much excitement but a low valuation and decent dividend. There is little growth, though, and 2025 estimated earnings will be below the level of 2021. It also has a fairly levered balance sheet. We have always thought it would make a good privatization candidate, but that is not enough reason to give it a strong endorsement. We would not miss it if sold.

Our PAST TOP PICK with ASTL has triggered its stop at $10. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. We combined with our past recommendations, this will result in a net investment gain of 12%
EPS of $0.24 missed estimates of $0.3067 and revenues of $732.6M beat expectations of $692.38M. Revenue of $732.6M, increased from $599.2M, and income from operations rose substantially. Its Adjusted EBITDA margin shrunk from 13.8% in the prior year to 11.1% in the recent quarter. Its results were negatively impacted by declines in steel prices due to labor stoppages at auto manufacturers in the US. Management expects a recovery in steel demand and pricing, however. Its balance sheet expanded, and its free cash flow grew. This was an OK quarter, and share prices are largely unchanged. It trades at a decent valuation of 0.4X forward sales and 7.1X forward earnings and pays a dividend of 2.7%. It may hover around these prices until a recovery in steel demand and pricing returns.

ASTL is one of Canada's largest steel producers. It trades at 6x earnings, under book value and supports a 19% ROE. Previously reported earnings indicated cost over runs and project delays that we feel have been fully discounted into the price. Meanwhile plate mill modernization is moving ahead of schedule. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 20% of cash flow. We recommend a stop-loss at $8.50, looking to achieve $12.50 -- upside potential over 21%. Yield 2.6%
(Analysts’ price target is $12.75)Commodity cycle is key input for steel sector.
If economy is expanding, good time to buy steel companies.
Expecting a hard recession, so would not recommend buying.
Wait to buy when market/economy has fallen more.
Been pressured in recent months. The market is pricing in a recession risk later this year. Wouldn't sell it now. Trades at a discount. Wait and see how things develop.
Our PAST TOP PICK with ASTL has triggered its stop at $9.50. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment loss of 2%, when combined with the previous buy recommendation.
We again reiterate this Canadian based steel producer as a TOP PICK. Trading at under book value and supporting a 66% ROE it remains good value. The company is growing cash reserves while it aggressively retires debt. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 10% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop-loss (from $7.50) to $8.50, looking to achieve $13.25 -- upside potential over 21%. Yield 2.4%.
(Analysts’ price target is $13.21)
