Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight on Steel Dynamics, Lowers Price Target to $140

Risk-on sentiment dominated Wall Street on Wednesday, as upbeat earnings reports and conciliatory messages from the Trump administration h<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">elped lift investor confidence.</a>
The administration eased market fears on two major fronts that have recently weighed heavily on sentiment. On the trade front, tensions with China appeared to thaw, with reports suggesting the White House is considering reducing tariffs on certain categories of goods.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added fuel to the rally, stating U.S.-China tariffs are unsustainable and will likely need to be lowered to facilitate meaningful negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered an abrupt shift in tone toward Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has no intention to fire him, a remark that helped calm concerns over political interference in monetary policy.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was up by nearly 2%, though it had earlier climbed even higher. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 2.5% gain, driven by strength in Magnificent Seven stocks.
Trump's pivot on Powell pushed Treasury yields lower across the curve, with the 30-year yield falling five basis points to 4.83%, after briefly topping 4.90% the previous day.
On the macro front, flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys revealed slowing growth momentum in the U.S. economy, as the services sector decelerated sharply following the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">of recent tariff shocks.</a>
The U.S. dollar strengthened, while gold plunged 2.6%, heading for its worst session since November.
Oil prices dropped more than 2% following speculation that OPEC+ may announce a new output hike as early as next month.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady around $93,000.

Stocks Surge On China Tariff Hopes, Tesla Jumps, Gold Loses Shine: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

U.S. stock futures continued rising on Wednesday after a day of strong recovery on Tuesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher in premarket.
President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44943319/craig-shapiro-takes-a-dig-at-donald-trump-trump-2-0-same-as-1-0-after-administration-hints-at-a-">hinted at a deal with China</a>. While speaking to the reporters at the White House, he said, "I think we will make a deal with China. If we don't make a deal, we will set it. I think they will want to be a part of the United States. We're doing great. This is the Golden Age.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44935649/alibaba-nio-pdd-shares-rise-amid-potential-de-escalation-of-china-trade-tensions-whats-going-on">during a private meeting</a> hosted by JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), hinted at de-escalation with China. 
He said that a deal is achievable even as the formal negotiations have not begun yet. Bessent acknowledged that current duties were untenable, but did not provide the specifics or the timeline of the deal.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.34% and the two-year bond was at 3.83%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 94.2% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior economist Mohamed El-Erian underscored in an X post that volatility was the dominant theme for U.S. financial assets as the stocks recovered sharply on Tuesday after Monday&#8217;s heavy selloff.
According to him, Tuesday&#8217;s session followed the &#8220;exact opposite session on Monday,&#8221; which had seen a decline in equities, a fall in the dollar, and a rise in gold prices. 
He was of the opinion that &#8220;Given all the uncertainties in play, it is prudent to expect continued volatility in the weeks ahead.&#8221;

Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted a trend in the market, the occurrence of which has marked the bottom within the NYSE in 1987, 2009, 2011 and 2020.
According to the data, over 89% of stocks advanced, with 89% of trading volume on Tuesday. This has happened on two days within nine trading days on April 9 and April 22.
This market signal's reliability stems from extreme market breadth, indicating oversold conditions, often preceding rebounds as investor sentiment shifts.
However, the past performance isn't a guaranteed predictor, especially with current pressures like Trump's tariff policies and potential Federal Reserve rate changes.
Detrick said that after such a market signal, the market was &#8220;Up nearly 25% on avg 6 months later.&#8221;

According to Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates, investors, including Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, have been &#8220;needlessly worried&#8221; about inflation and stagflation that has not materialized. &#8220;The reality is that deflation has arrived in the wake of the lowest crude oil prices in the past four years, so investors, the Fed, and our allies have been unnecessarily worried over nothing,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;The stock market is a manic crowd that likes to react first and think second. It is now time to think and prosper during another spectacular earnings announcement season. Spring has arrived, and consumers are increasingly getting out and about, which is why the strongest retail sales in two years just occurred,&#8221; he added.

Tesla, Philip Morris International And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) reported first-quarter financial results after the market close on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at the key details <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44937297/steel-dynamics-reports-first-quarter-2025-results">from the print</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q1 Revenue: $4.37 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $4.2 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q1 EPS: $1.44, versus estimates of $1.38</li>
</ul>
Steel Dynamics shipped 3.5 million tons of steel during the first quarter and generated $230 million of operating income from its steel operations. The company reported $153 million in cash flow from operations, which was reduced by annual companywide retirement profit-sharing distributions of $165 million.
The company&#8217;s average external product selling price for steel operations decreased $13 sequentially to $998 per ton. Steel Dynamics noted that flat-rolled steel pricing rebounded from recent lows. Steel demand in the quarter was led by the energy, non-residential construction, automotive and industrial sectors.
Steel Dynamics repurchased $250 million worth of its common stock in the quarter and ended the period with total liquidity of $2.6 billion.
&#8220;Underlying steel demand improved in the&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;as customer orders rebounded and backlogs increased throughout the quarter at our steel and steel fabrication operations. Steel prices improved throughout the quarter from the lows seen in the second half of 2024 as trade actions have seen imports decline from recent highs,&#8221; said Mark Millett, chairman and CEO of Steel Dynamics.&nbsp;
&#8220;We should see the benefit from these higher steel prices in the coming months, as lagging flat-rolled steel contracts roll. In combination with our ongoing value-added flat-rolled steel and aluminum expansion initiatives, there are firm drivers in place for our continued growth.&#8221;
Outlook: Steel Dynamics expects domestic steel consumption to be &#8220;solid&#8221; throughout 2025 and in the coming years. The company noted that it has seen some &#8220;uncertainty&#8221; from customers related to recent trade tensions. 
Despite the uncertainty from customers, Steel Dynamics expects demand for lower-carbon emission, U.S.-produced steel products combined with lower imports to support steel pricing and demand.
STLD Price Action: S<a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/stld">teel Dynamics shares</a> closed Tuesday up 3.38% at $117.39; after-hours, shares were up 1.80% at $119.50 at the time of publication, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Steel Dynamics Reports Q1 Earnings: Revenue Beat, EPS Beat, Improving Demand Drives 'Solid' Steel Consumption Forecast

WIIM

Steel Dynamics shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q1 EPS and revenues.

Outlook&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
"We remain constructive that market conditions are in place for domestic steel consumption to be solid through 2025 and into the following years," said&nbsp;Millett. "Order entry activity improved across our businesses and steel pricing firmed in the first quarter 2025. However, we have seen some uncertainty from certain customers related to recent trade actions. Overall, we believe demand for lower-carbon emission, U.S. produced steel products coupled with lower imports will support steel pricing and demand. The continued onshoring of manufacturing businesses, combined with the expectation of fixed asset investment to be derived from public and private funding should competitively position the domestic steel industry. We also expect the recent International Trade Commission's preliminary determinations related to coated flat rolled steel to reduce the amount of unfairly traded imports of these products into the United States, which could have a significant positive impact for us, as we are the largest non-automotive flat rolled steel coater in the United States. We believe these broader dynamics will benefit all of our operating platforms.
"Our four new value-added flat rolled steel coating lines continue to increase utilization and we expect to realize full run rate earnings potential in the second half 2025. Value-added product investments such as these enhance our differentiated supply-chain capabilities, while also increasing our higher-margin product offerings, which already represent over 65 percent of our steel revenues.
"The aluminum team is continuing with successful commissioning of the company's Columbus, Mississippi aluminum flat rolled products mill, along with the San Luis Potosi, Mexico satellite recycled slab center. The Mississippi team successfully cast its first aluminum ingot in January 2025 and the Mexico team in March 2025. Construction is near completion on the hot and cold mills. The finishing equipment installation for the automotive treatment and can sheet coating lines are also on schedule. The company continues to expect to ship commercial aluminum flat rolled coils mid-2025.
"We have intentionally grown with our customers' needs, providing efficient sustainable supply-chain solutions for the highest quality products. Thus far, this has primarily been achieved within the steel industry — however, a significant number of our flat rolled steel customers are also consumers and processors of aluminum flat rolled products. We are pleased to further diversify our end markets with plans to supply aluminum flat rolled products with high recycled content to the countercyclical sustainable beverage can and packaging industry, in addition to the automotive, industrial, and construction sectors. We believe our unique performance-based operating culture, coupled with our considerable experience in successfully constructing and operating cost-effective, highly profitable flat rolled steel mills, positions us exceptionally well to execute this strategic opportunity and to deliver strong long-term value creation. Our customers and our people are also incredibly excited for this growth opportunity.
"Our commitment is to the health and safety of our teams, families, and communities, while meeting the current and future needs of our customers. Our culture and business model continues to positively differentiate our performance from the rest of the industry. We continue to focus on delivering superior value to our team members, customers, and shareholders," concluded Millett.

Steel Dynamics Highlights Strong 2025 Steel Demand Outlook Driven By Onshoring, Lower Imports, And Sustainability Trends; Expects Impact From Trade Rulings, Full Earnings From New Coating Lines By Late 2025, And Mid-Year Launch Of Aluminum Flat Rolled Products To Expand Into Automotive, Packaging, And Industrial Markets

&nbsp;
India is set to impose a temporary tariff, known locally as safeguard duty, of 12% on steel imports, said a government source with direct knowledge of the matter, to try and curb a surge in cheap imports from China and elsewhere.
The government would enact the tax as soon as possible, the source, who did not wish to be named, told Reuters on Monday.

Shares of metals stocks are trading lower, pulling back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement. The sector has been volatile amid trade war concerns.

CNBC host Jim Cramer cheered President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44725016/us-steel-stock-tumbles-as-trump-says-we-dont-want-to-see-it-go-to-japan">latest comments</a> on the long-pending acquisition of United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) by Nippon Steel Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NPSCY#OTC">NPSCY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NISTF#OTC">NISTF</a>)
Cramer took to X, stating that it was a &#8216;Smart move blocking Nippon Dumper Steel deal,&#8217; referring to the President&#8217;s statement that signaled his reluctance to give a go-ahead to the $15 billion deal.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Smart move blocking Nippon Dumper Steel deal
&mdash; Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) <a href="https://twitter.com/jimcramer/status/1910086508675281135?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 9, 2025</a></blockquote>

What Happened: During a press meeting at the Oval Office on Wednesday night, Trump emphasized the importance of United States Steel for American industry, referring to it as &#8220;a very special company,&#8221; before adding &#8220;we don&#8217;t want it to go to Japan or any other place,&#8221; casting fresh uncertainty on the future of this deal.
This comes just days after Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/04/44679320/us-steel-gains-16-as-trump-orders-review-of-nippon-steels-blocked-acquisition-amid-national-security-concerns">ordered another review</a> of the blocked acquisition when the Committee On Foreign Investment In The United States was given 45 days to submit its recommendations.

Why It Matters: The deal was blocked by the Biden Administration in January, citing national security issues, but Cramer&#8217;s opposition to it largely centers on the adverse impact it has on other U.S. steel companies, particularly the likes of Nucor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), the largest steel-maker in the U.S, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jim-cramer-nucor-nue-sell-142005180.html">reported</a> Yahoo Finance via Insider Monkey
In his Wednesday X post, Cramer refers to the Japanese giant &#8220;Nippon Dumper Steel&#8221; calling out its serial steel dumping activities in the United States. Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-18/commerce-slaps-tariffs-on-nippon-steel-amid-anti-import-promise">reported</a> that the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed tariffs on the Japanese steel giant last year.
Price Action: Shares of US Steel plunged nearly 11% to $40.19 in after-hours trading, following a 2.5% gain to $45.14 during the regular session. Meanwhile, Nippon Steel has been rallying since Thursday morning in Tokyo, climbing over 5% at the time of writing.
According to Benzinga Edge, United States Steel stock is attractive in the short, medium, and long terms, with strong momentum and value scores. However, how does it compare with competitors Nucor and Steel Dynamics?
