The reason the stock is not in the good graces of our Zacks Rank is analysts have been cutting earnings for the current year and next year. The bearish moves have dropped our Zacks Consensus Estimate from $4.01 to $3.48 for the current year and $4.27 to $4.22 for next year.
The Steel – Producers industry is in the Top 20% of our Zacks Industry Rank. There are a few stocks within this industry that are Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks. These include ArcelorMittal (MT - Free Report) and Nucor (NUE - Free Report) .
