Monday, June 17, 11:44 AM AK Steel's (AKS -2.2%) downside guidance was below expectations but Goldman Sachs believes the miss was widely expected as steel prices came under pressure. But the new guidance implied significantly higher than expected operating costs; excluding the impact of maintenance, the firm estimates gross profit per ton will decline 13% Q/Q. Goldman maintains its Sell rating and $2.60 target price. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
Monday, June 17, 8:58 AM AK Steel (AKS) sees a higher than expected Q2 EPS loss of $0.38-$0.33, which may not compare to -$0.09 consensus estimate, but expects a 4%-5% increase in shipments Q/Q to 1.34M-1.36M tons due to strength in the automotive market. AKS expects its Q2 average selling price/ton to rise ~1% to ~$1,055/ton, primarily due to lower spot market prices for carbon steel products. AKS +0.8% premarket. Comment! [Commodities]
Tuesday, May 28, 5:47 PM Goldman Sachs cuts its 2014-15 EPS estimates for steel producers due to lower expected steel prices (SLX) and only modest increases in orders despite macro data indicating an improving market. Price-sensitive names AK Steel (AKS) and U.S. Steel (X) could suffer further declines, the firm says as it prefers specialty companies such as Reliance Steel (RS) and Carpenter Tech (CRS). 1 Comment [Commodities]
Friday, May 24, 2:57 PM Recent price increases announced by AK Steel (AKS -1.4%), US Steel (X -0.3%) and ArcelorMittal (MT -0.9%) are unlikely to stick, Credit Suisse believes, as the sector's fundamentals suggest steel stocks are likely to remain range bound this summer. However, the firm predicts stronger demand trends are likely to drive steel stocks higher by fall. Comment! [Commodities]
Thursday, May 23, 5:55 PM Serious overcapacity in China's steel industry is unlikely to ease in 2013, which could continue to hamper steel prices (SLX), analysts say at Platts Steel Market Europe conference. China is set to produce ~750M metric tons of crude steel in 2013 while capacity will rise to 950M, putting heavy pressure on steel prices in Europe and in the world steel industry as a whole. 7 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]

Wednesday, April 3, 5:43 PM Steel imports fell 17.1% Y/Y in March and are down 11.7% YTD, and Wells Fargo says the decline is a negative for U.S. Steel (X) and AK Steel (AKS) since it is "driven by weak domestic steel prices that have made foreign steel less attractive to U.S. buyers, as well as softer than seasonal end demand." The firm remains cautious on the steel sector until fundamentals improve in Europe and China. 4 Comments [Commodities]

Tuesday, January 29, 3:59 PM U.S. Steel (X -2%) and AK Steel (AKS -1.8%) (I, II) continue to contend with oversupply in the U.S. industry, pressuring steel prices, but both companies expect results to improve in the current quarter as the global economy improves. "Recent increases in our daily order entry rates suggest increased spot market demand as the quarter progresses," U.S. Steel says, also seeing lower coal costs for 2013. Comment!
