The steel industry typically sees some bankruptcies in any real downturn. This looks like a downturn! Somehow the steel industry doesn't seem like it's suddently small enough where companies don't go bankrupt anymore, and the economics of low-cost provider vs. higher-cost provider hasn't changed. Even the best of the steel companies will suffer as world demand drops way down below expectations. There are simply too many houses and cars out there, not to mention commercial buildings. We really don't need much steel, 1.3 bn tons in 2007/2008 could more than halve before the economy run...

AK Steel (AKS): An easy double

Filed under: Newsletters, Bargain stocks, Stocks to Buy  It takes nerves of steel to buy stocks in this market. Although much of the carnage has passed and is presumably priced into stocks, there is still risk in this market.Thus far, investors are avoiding those risks preferring the safety of Treasury securities. Despite the Federal Reserve doing everything in its power to support the economy and to encourage risk-taking, investors are not taking the bait. What are they waiting for? <>Granted, my own analysis of the market suggests that another round of selling may be right around the corner, cr...

Ahhhh, the business cycle, etched so very deep into the collective mind of Wall Street. The business cycle, so very important, so very fundamental, that there is even a category of stocks known as "cyclicals." And conventional wisdom states, "Don't get caught with a cyclical when the business cycle goes south! Cyclical stocks do terribly in the trough of the business cycle. So if you see even a hint that the down side of the cycle is coming, get out, get out. Run for the hills. It's gonna be baaaad. Oh so very, very baaaaaad." <>And what could be more cyclical than steel. Sure, when the good t...

AKS has an aggressive financial profile (debt $2,973m to $477m of equity) relative to its peers but its debt facilities are long term which reduces refinance risk. Operating cashflow is strong given high commodity prices. <> AKS has limited diversity, with direct sales to the automotive industry accounting for 40% of revenues and an additional unknown percentage of indirect sales to the automotive industry through sales to distributors and service centers. The next highest area of sales is to white good manufacturers – another area to experience a sharp slowdown in a recession<><><><><><>...

Filed under: Stocks to Buy The market's choppy, consolidating (or perhaps worse) pattern continues. Further, the steel sector remains vulnerable to a U.S./global economic slowdown, but one company that may hold its own is AK Steel.

The buzz on AK Steel is too much to ignore. Every stock analyst is talking about the impact of steel…everything from high demand to reliance on steel for infrastructure projects like Exxon Mobil’s $25 billion dollar infrastructure investment. The play here is AKS along with US Steel. I will highlight Analyst Recommendation, but this is more of a consistent buzz across the industry.
