TOP PICK

A very cheap stock at around 7 X trailing earnings, 9 X forcast earnings. Dividend yield of over 5%. As a value investor, this is very inexpensive and pays you while you wait.

WEAK BUY

Not a bad place to be if you want cyclical exposure because you get 5% yield. Doesn't have as much exposure to the commodity as other steel companies, so a much safer place to be. As you get nearer the end of the cycle, There's less attraction for it. Prefers Algoma (AGA-T).

HOLD

Involved in service centres, the energy market (tubular steel) and distribution. Have had a great year. Expects it will continue, but appreciation on the stock has gone up from $11/12 to above $18. Doesn't think there's a whole lot more left in it, but probably a few dollars. If you own, consider taking some profit.

DON'T BUY

Basically at its high yet its first 6 months results were down substantially. Always sceptical of this scenario. Made a lot of money when the price of steel was high, but don't think they will be able to make it any more.

WEAK BUY

Had some nice inventory gains as metal prices were going up. Very low P/E around 8 X's. Because of the extra dividends they paid out, the yield is one of the highest on the TSX. A cyclical stock, so a slowdown will affect them. Be cautious.

BUY

Loves this stock. It's the only steel stock that she did not sell. Has a fabulous yield. Incredibly good management.

DON'T BUY

Stock has done tremendously well, but there are different reasons why. The acquisition of the Montreal company has synergies. The trend in steel has reversed. You could see them losing money on inventories because the steel market is not as busy. Money has already been made and it is probably too late now.

SELL

All the steel companies had a tremendous run and then steel prices started to drop. Looks like a cheap stock, but the earnings are very volatile.

DON'T BUY

Have been hurt by the downturn in steel. Still generating earnings. Feels the steel cycle will be over for awhile.

DON'T BUY

P/E of 3.9 and a yield of 5.5%. Very well run. Earnings record has been very good. A cyclical company in a cyclical business and steel stocks have been under pressure lately. Steel pricing has been coming down due to overcapacity around the world.

BUY

Likes this company. Has had tremendous growth. Have done very well on the distribution side. Good dividend. A cyclical industry. Can see double digit returns over the next year.

WEAK BUY

Doesn't think that with a lot of the cyclicals, you are going to get a valuation increase any more. The current level is more reasonable. If you take their earnings and put them on the balance sheet and look out a year, it'll be worth about $17. You would have to hold it through a pretty volatile period.

DON'T BUY

Generating good earnings, but is worried that steel prices are in the process of coming down. Auto sector could be rolling over as well as steel coming in from China. Earnings are coming down and this could continue for a year or two.

BUY

Getting attractively priced. 5% + dividend. Looking at a fairly good return. Well run.

DON'T BUY

The steel stocks as a group have reversed down on his quantitative models which tells him that the risk level is rising. There is risk in this area. For now, they are into consolidations, seasonally these companies can have a consolidation through the summer. Could trade sideways or drop further.
