Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for Commercial Metals is +10.00%.
Commercial Metals is likely to have benefited from robust demand for finished steel products across most of its product lines in the spring and summer construction season, supported by its growing downstream backlog and solid levels of new construction work entering the project pipeline. The North America segment is likely to have benefited from strong rebar, merchant bar and wire rods demand. In the Europe segment, the Polish construction market is growing on expanding manufacturing activity. These factors and a strong construction backlog in North America, new contract wins and strength across the key end markets in North America and Europe are likely to have supported the finished steel shipment volumes in the fiscal third quarter.
Commercial Metals’ 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 hikes across its mill products in response to the rapidly-rising scrap costs.
Price Performance
Commercial Metals’ shares have appreciated 18.6% in the past year against the industry’s decline of 6.7%.
