What could break the thesis?
Global trade restrictions and geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East are causing steel to be redirected into alternate markets, creating price pressure and high volatility in global steel prices. [MARGIN_COST]
“Globally, the steel industry has remained influenced by trade-related actions across key markets, while the ongoing Middle East conflict has moderated demand in certain regions. These factors have contributed to a redirection of steel flow into the alternate market, resulting in the price pressure across geographic and heightened volatility in global steel prices.”
Execution risk is easing as key projects like the blast furnace and color-coated facilities were commissioned ahead of schedule and are already operating at high utilization rates (104% and 70% respectively). (1 easing, 2 intensifying, 1 stable, 1 high-severity)
