Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Zacks Model

Zacks Rank: Ternium currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.
What Do the Estimates Indicate?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Ternium’s fourth-quarter consolidated sales is currently pegged at $4,655 million, which calls for an increase of 80.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Some Factors at Play
The company is likely to have benefited from higher prices and healthy shipment volumes in the fourth quarter. Shipments in Mexico, in the fourth quarter, are likely to have been driven by strong demand from industrial customers. Healthy demand for construction materials and higher activities in automotive are expected to have supported shipments in Argentina. However, the shipment volumes are likely to have been affected by year-end seasonality.
Ternium also benefited from strong steel prices in its major markets in the third quarter on the back of strong demand. The pricing strength, backed by heathy steel prices in the North American market, is expected to have continued in the fourth quarter and supported the company’s top line. Higher realized steel prices are likely to have driven its margins.
However, higher cost per ton is likely to have affected the company’s performance in the December quarter. Ternium is seeing higher costs for many of its raw materials along with increased slab costs.
Here are some companies in the basic materials space you may want to consider as our model shows these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Huntsman's fourth-quarter earnings has been revised 4.1% upward over the past 60 days. The consensus estimate for HUN’s earnings for the quarter is currently pegged at 88 cents.
