After climbing by nearly 120% since its March low this year, with the existing value of approximately $11, US Steel Corp’s stock (NYSE:X) appears to be highly overvalued. Steel stocks rose $5 to $11 from their recent low to S
Part of the drop in consistent percentage values between 2017-2019 is justified by the 70% drop in the P/S multiple. This despite a cumulative accumulation of 5. 6% in earnings between 2017 and 2019, which in turn saw an 8. 8% accumulating gains consistent with consistent percentages during this consistent period, as the number of notable consistent percentages decreased slightly. However, despite this increase in the RPS, multiple P/S has fallen dramatically while the consistent percentage value has The overall value of metals fell due to the industry’s war between the United States and China, while the value of raw fabrics remained high, leading the company to report losses in 2019. Therefore, the decrease in profits (in 2019) as well as losses, led to a drop in consistent percentage value, in turn affecting its multiple valuation.
The P/S rose from 0. 50x at the end of 2017 to 0. 15x at the end of 2019. It was reduced in 2020 before recovering in recent months and is currently at 0. 14x. The drop in P/S in 2020 was driven through an additional drop in the value of metals after the coronavirus outbreak. However, we expect the company’s P/S to drop nearly 0. 10x from the existing level, indicating a decrease in inventory value in the short term.
Trigger down?
The global spread of coronavirus has caused a blockade in cities around the world, affecting commercial and economic activity. This is reflected in the company’s second and third quarter 2020 results. 24% year-on-year, due to the particular decrease in shipments in the flat and tubular laminate divisions, as well as the decrease in prices.
US Steel’s inventory recently recovered from expectations of high global metals costs as primary economies have begun to gradually lift blockades, likely leading to increased demand and reduced source bottlenecks. of the spread of the pandemic in the United States and contrasts with trends in Brazil and Russia. However, this is an improvement over 51% usage in early May 2020, indicating that there are symptoms of an uptick in metal activity.
However, demanding company-specific operational situations persist. Even if the metals market recovers soon, we don’t think US Steel can take advantage of this recovery as much as its competitors, such as ArcelorMittal. Even during such a delicate crisis, US Steel burns much more money than its peers, i. e. with its $2 billion flat segment asset revitalization program, US Steel’s loose money flow has declined, from about $450 million in 2016 to -470,2019, reflecting a net outing of money. The Company’s monetary balance was halved from $1. 5 billion to $750 million.
Although inventory has recovered in recent months, mainly due to broader sectoral and economic developments, we believe that inventory has far exceeded its short-term potential. Based on US Steel’s U. S. Trefis valuation, we have a fair value estimate of $6 consistent with a consistent percentage for US Steel inventory, well below its current value of approximately $11.
