Key Factors
Commercial Metals is likely to have benefited from robust demand for steel products, driven by the solid construction and infrastructure activity during the fiscal first quarter. The North America and Europe segment are likely to have benefited from strong construction activities, driving demand for rebar, merchant bar and wire rod products as well as a surge in new residential construction work. These trends are likely to have supported the finished steel shipment volumes in North America and Europe during the fiscal first quarter.
Commercial Metals’ margin is anticipated to have benefited from high steel prices owing to the upsurge in demand across the major end-use markets. The company’s network-optimization efforts and cost-reduction initiatives are likely to have contributed to margin performance during the quarter under review. The company has been implementing price rise across its mill products in response to the rapidly-rising scrap costs.
Price Performance
Commercial Metals’ shares have appreciated 62.9% in the past year compared with the industry’s growth of 26.4%.
