Commercial Metals' Stock Price Offers Attractive Entry Point, UBS Says in Upgrade

Commercial Metals' (CMC) current stock price offers an attractive entry point for investors as downside risks to US rebar pricing have eased, UBS Securities said in a client note sent Thursday.The steel maker's shares have underperformed its peers by about 40% so far this year, "creating attractive entry as key downside risks to US rebar pricing have eased," UBS analysts, including Andrew Jones, wrote.UBS upgraded its rating on the stock to buy from neutral and raised the 12-month price target to $89 from $79.Shares of Commercial Metals were up 3.6% intraday Thursday.UBS' change in view reflects factors including import pressure peaking, with first-quarter imports already tracking in line with historical averages."We now see near-term downside risk to US rebar imports," versus upside risks previously expected, amid a closed import arbitrage window, Jones said.UBS is looking at roughly $1.6 billion in 2027 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for Commercial Metals, compared with the consensus of about $1.4 billion."Domestic capacity also appears less disruptive, with (rival) Hybar nearing steady state (and) most incremental supply concentrated among disciplined incumbents," Jones said, referring Commercial Metals and Nucor (NUE). This reinforces "a more stable, duopolistic market structure," he added.Price: $73.00, Change: $+2.67, Percent Change: +3.80%

Commercial Metals' Stock Slide Overdone as Steel Market Stabilizes, UBS Says

Commercial Metals (CMC) shares have fallen far more than rivals this year even as pressures on US rebar prices have started to ease, boosting prospects for the steelmaker, UBS Securities said Wednesday in a report.Steel imports appear to have peaked, with Q1 volumes now back near typical levels, the report said. Rising steel prices in Turkey have also closed the gap that made foreign rebar cheaper to ship into the US, and a trade case targeting rebar from Bulgaria, Egypt, Vietnam and Algeria is moving toward final duties at the end of May, which could further limit low-priced imports, UBS said.New domestic steel supply looks less disruptive than feared, the report said. A new mill run by Hybar in Osceola, Arkansas, is close to steady production, and most of the additional supply coming online is from Commercial Metals and Nucor (NUE), which already dominate the US market for rebar, the steel bar used to reinforce concrete in buildings, bridges and highways, UBS said.Hybar, an "industry wild card," has a permit for a second, much larger mill and has discussed a possible third, posing a longer-term competitive risk, though only about 150,000 tons of new annual supply remain in the near term, the report said.UBS upgraded its rating on Commercial Metals stock to buy from neutral and lifted its price target to $89 from $79.Price: $72.67, Change: $+2.34, Percent Change: +3.33%
