Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for Commercial Metals is +28.18%.
Commercial Metals is likely to have benefited from robust demand for finished steel products across most of its end markets in North America and Europe, driven by the solid construction project pipeline and favorable demand from industrial end markets. The North America segment is likely to have benefited from strong rebar, merchant bar and wire rods demand. In Europe, the Polish construction market is growing on robust strength in the residential construction and infrastructure sectors. These factors coupled with a strong construction backlog in North America are likely to have supported the finished steel shipment volumes in the fiscal second 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 47.1% in the past year compared with the industry’s growth of 22.6%.
