What the Analysts think about WS

Analyst projections of the future price of Worthington Steel stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The Kloeckner acquisition broadens Worthington Steel’s geographic reach and product mix, creating a larger metals-processing platform across North America and Europe. That could make the business less reliant on its traditional markets. (Worthington Steel, Longbridge)
Management has identified $150 million of annual EBITDA synergies and about $150 million of working-capital gains over two years from Kloeckner. Delivering those targets would add earnings and free up cash. (Longbridge)
Excluding Kloeckner, first-quarter net sales rose 9% year on year, with direct volumes up 3% and selling prices up 6%. That points to continued growth in Worthington Steel’s existing business. (StreetInsider)
Despite Kloeckner’s sales contribution, first-quarter continuing-operations results swung to a $7 million loss and adjusted EPS fell to $0.57 from $0.77. Acquisition costs and a $43 million inventory valuation charge weighed on earnings. (StreetInsider)
Worthington Steel recorded a $94.5 million impairment in its electrical-steel unit after weaker industrial-motor demand, foreign competition and delayed automotive programme launches hurt its outlook. This shows that growth in specialist products is not assured. (Business Wire)
First-quarter free cash flow was negative $69 million, including $63 million of capital spending, soon after the company completed its largest acquisition. If cash generation remains weak, it could leave less room to reduce borrowing and fund integration. (The Stock Observer, Worthington Steel)
