Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

Steel Dynamics, Inc. (STLD-Q) is currently facing significant challenges in the market, primarily due to the influx of steel being dumped from China through Mexico. This situation has raised concerns among experts, notably impacting the company's competitive standing alongside Nucor. Despite the stock being perceived as cheap, experts express hesitation in recommending it for purchase at this time. The lack of enforcement from the U.S. against these trade practices has created a difficult environment for U.S. steel manufacturers. Consequently, while the stock may appear attractive from a price standpoint, the overarching market dynamics and potential headwinds contribute to a cautious outlook on its investment viability.

DON'T BUY

China is dumping steel through Mexico, and the US isn't enforcing it. This is hurting this and Nucor. Though shares are cheap, he wouldn't buy it.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly STLD is expected to benefit from the trend towards "onshoring" -- security of supply for key infrastructure -- and is again reiterated as a TOP PICK. As one of the largest US steel producers, it will also benefit from the Biden Administration infrastructure focus to easy supply chain delays and boost automobile production. It trades at 4x earnings, compared to peers at 10x. Most recent earnings again beat analyst expectations and supports a ROE of 70%. Its cash reserves are relatively unchanged, while it aggressively buys back shares and retire debt early. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $68, looking to achieve $101.50 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 1.81% (Analysts’ price target is $101.50)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate STLD, one of the largest steel producers and metal recyclers in the US, as a TOP PICK. The company expects the pandemic related supply-chain challenges in the auto sector to subside this year, supporting stronger production of vehicles. Growth is expected in the construction and industrial sectors as well as the current Administration bolsters infrastructure spending. The company trades at 4x earnings compared to peers at 17x. It pays a smallish dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 15% of cashflow. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $50, looking to achieve $75 -- upside potential over 18%. Yield 1.69% (Analysts’ price target is $74.77)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly As one of the largest steel producers and metal recyclers in the US, we reiterate STLD as a TOP PICK. A move by the current Administration to bolster infrastructure spending is expected to help create record earnings as management guidance was boosted. Domestic steel demand from the automotive, construction and industrial sectors is expected to remain strong. The company bought back over $1 in stock this year. It trades at 5x earnings compared to peers at 16x and has a PEG ratio under 0.5, showing good value here. It pays a decent dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 15% of cashflow. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $50, looking to achieve $79 -- upside potential over 25%. Yield 1.69% (Analysts’ price target is $78.77)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly STLD is one of the largest steel producers and metal recyclers in the US. A move by the current Administration to bolster infrastructure spending will add further upside opportunity. It trades at 9x earnings compared to peers at 20x and has a PEG ratio under 0.5, showing good value here. It pays a decent dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 20% of cashflow. We would buy it with a stop loss at $50, looking to achieve $75 -- upside potential over 19%. Yield 1.65% (Analysts’ price target is $74.22)

TOP PICK

Play on growth of the economy. Third largest steel company in the US. Short-term potential of about $35. Guidance last week helped to create this breakout. With the volume, good value play right now.
