United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) announced Thursday its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41665667/us-steel-reports-better-than-expected-q3-results-aims-to-close-nippon-steel-deal-by-year-end">third-quarter earnings</a>, reporting a profit of 56 cents per share, exceeding analyst forecasts of 47 cents. The company also generated revenue of $3.85 billion, surpassing expectations of $3.77 billion.
The company achieved an adjusted EBITDA of $319 million, demonstrating resilience despite lower selling prices. CEO David B. Burritt noted strong performance in the North American Flat-Rolled (NAFR) segment.
Looking ahead, U.S. Steel expects fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA between $225 million and $275 million, and continues to work towards finalizing its deal with Nippon Steel by year-end. 
Here&#8217;s how analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/X/analyst-ratings">view the company</a> following third-quarter results.

KeyBanc analyst Philip Gibbs highlighted positive factors such as better NAFR pricing and European carbon credit benefits, though performance in the Mini Mill/Big River and Tubular segments lagged.
U.S. Steel&#8217;s fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA expectations came in higher than KeyBanc&#8217;s $205 million estimate, but anticipates a decline in NAFR pricing and weaker European results. The company also raised its 2024 capex budget to $2.3 billion due to cost overruns, with a 2025 capex plan of $1 billion.
Regarding the potential transaction with Nippon Steel, U.S. Steel hopes to close the deal by year-end. However, there are concerns about political opposition and regulatory reviews.
BMO Capital Markets analyst Katja Jancic noted how capex has increased for the second consecutive quarter to approximately $2.3 billion, which is disappointing; however, half of this increase is attributed to costs being pulled forward. 
Despite this, a significant decline in capex is expected for 2025 and beyond, with plans to reduce it to around $1 billion. BMO is lowering their estimates due to ongoing demand and pricing softness, setting a new price target of $43, down from the previous target of $45 alongside an Outperform rating.
Overall, BMO maintains a positive outlook on U.S. Steel&#8217;s investments translating into improved profitability and free cash flow over time.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy X Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in United States Steel&#8217;s case, it is in the Materials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, X has a 52-week high of $50.20 and a 52-week low of $26.92.

News

US Steel Releases Q3 Earnings, Raises Capital Expenditures To $2.3 Billion

United States Steel's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.9% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 16.74 million shares sold short, which is 7.5% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 9.27 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>United States Steel Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730484051_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for United States Steel has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing United States Steel's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, United States Steel's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.39%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

&#8220;Third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $319 million demonstrated resilience in our business model despite the weaker average selling prices experienced across our operating segments.

United States Steel Corp Says Continue To Work Towards Closing Transaction With Nippon Steel By Year-End

Q4 2024 Outlook
We expect fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA in the range of $225 million and $275 million. Our North American Flat-Rolled segment results should decrease slightly, driven largely by lower lagging average selling price expectations for the quarter. We expect an improvement in Mini Mill segment results, even after accounting for $25 million of related start-up and one-time construction costs at BR2, reflecting an expected improvement in average selling prices. In Europe, results are expected to be lower given the absence of the positive CO2 allocations and weak underlying demand and pricing conditions. Our Tubular segment results should be largely consistent with the third quarter.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in United States Steel

To secure its proposed acquisition of United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>), Japanese steelmaker Nippon Steel (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>) has boosted its lobbying spending in Washington.
What Happened: Nippon Steel has spent $1.3 million on lobbying between July and September, a substantial increase from the $1.1 million spent in the preceding seven months, according to a <a href="https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/4966e2b0-b81c-4186-b0c7-32633e4acc86/print/">disclosure</a> by the firm hired by the Japanese steelmaker.
The company is facing resistance from U.S. lawmakers, who have expressed concerns over the proposed $15 billion acquisition.
Nippon Steel hired Akin Gump Strauss Hauer &amp; Feld to lobby on issues related to the merger. The firm <a href="https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/c57e786a-a603-4359-b96a-bea177a6fa78/print/">disclosed</a> lobbying activities with various government bodies, including the House, Senate, and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
The surge in lobbying spending coincides with a crucial phase for the merger in Washington. President Joe Biden was reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/09/40724057/biden-administration-reportedly-warns-nippon-steels-14-9b-acquisition-of-us-steel-poses-national-sec">set to block the acquisition in September</a>, prompting Nippon Steel&#8217;s vice chair to make a last-ditch effort to save the deal. 
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) subsequently allowed Nippon Steel to refile its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40922003/us-steel-merger-faces-post-election-decision-as-national-security-fears-stall-nippon-deal">bid after the election</a>.
Nippon Steel did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The increased lobbying expenditure by Nippon Steel comes amid strong opposition to the acquisition from both sides of the political spectrum. This move reflects the company&#8217;s determination to push through the deal despite the challenges it faces in Washington.
Earlier in September, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41045029/amid-nippon-us-steel-debacle-kamala-harris-stresses-importance-of-us-steel-production-even-if-it">emphasized the importance of maintaining domestic control over steel production</a>, even if it results in job losses. This stance aligns with the concerns expressed by U.S. lawmakers regarding the potential impact of the acquisition on American jobs and national security.
Meanwhile, former President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has vowed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40912183/amid-trump-and-harris-opposition-to-nippon-steels-14b-bid-for-us-steel-national-security-panel-t">block the deal if he is re-elected</a>.
Despite the opposition, Nippon Steel secured a favorable arbitration ruling in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41038172/amid-resistance-from-harris-and-trump-nippon-steel-scores-favorable-arbitration-ruling-in-14-9b-">$15 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel</a>. The ruling, however, did not change the United Steelworkers&#8217; (USW) opposition to the deal.

As Trump, Kamala Harris, And Biden Unite Against Nippon Steel's $15B US Steel Acquisition, Japanese Steelmaker Spends $1.3M On Lobbying Efforts

Former President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on tariffs, a potential breakup of Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), taxes, the Federal Reserve and more during an interview Tuesday at the Economic Club of Chicago, covering several topics that could be key to winning the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: The interview, which was conducted by Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait was tense at times over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41333498/trumps-tariffs-vs-harriss-taxes-which-will-hit-luxury-real-estate-harder-experts-weigh-in">topics like tariffs</a>.
During the interview and shortly after, shares of Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) fell and were halted, potentially due to the former president's comments.
Shares of Trump Media &amp; Technology fell as low as $25.11 on Tuesday and finished the day down 9.6% at $27.06.
The stock rose Monday after the media company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41317581/whats-going-on-with-trump-media-technology-stock-monday"> announced the launch </a>of the Truth+ streaming platform.
Trump on Economy: Trump said his policies will bring back growth to the United States.
"We're all about growth," Trump said, as <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-15/trump-defends-economic-agenda-saying-tariffs-will-fuel-growth?sref=TBDibEcD">reported </a>by Bloomberg. "We're going to bring companies back to our country."

</ul>
 Trump on Tariffs: During the interview, Trump argued against the notion that increasing tariffs on foreign goods could negatively impact American jobs, saying higher tariffs could protect "the companies that we have here and the new companies that will move in."
"It's going to have a massive effect, positive effect," Trump said. "The higher the tariff, the more likely it is that the company will come into the United States, and build a factory in the United States so it doesn't have to pay the tariff."
The comments come as Trump has proposed a 60% tariff on imports from China and 10% on the rest of the world.
Trump also said Tuesday that he would block the sale of United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) to Nippon Steel Corp if he's able.
"I think it sets a horrible tone. There are certain companies you have to have."
Trump said steel is critical to the country&#8217;s national security.
Trump on Federal Reserve: During the interview, Trump was asked Tuesday about removing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
The former president said if he is reelected, he should be able to give input on if interest rates should change, regardless of who is in charge of the Federal Reserve.
"I think that if you're a very good president with good sense, you should be able to at least talk to him."
Trump did not confirm whether he would remove Powell but joked about how easy the job is to be Federal Reserve chairman.
"I think it's the greatest job in government. You show up to the office once a month and you say, ‘let's flip a coin' and everybody talks about you like you're a God."
Trump on Breaking Up Google: Another economic topic that came up during the interview was the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39873381/trump-vp-pick-j-d-vance-worth-watching-for-potential-google-breakup-market-strategist-says-not-a">breakup of big technology companies</a> like Alphabet Inc, the parent company of Google.
Trump wouldn't say if he would push to have the company broken up if he returns to the presidency, but he would like to see changes made.
"What you can do without breaking it up is make sure that it's more fair. They do treat me very badly."
Trump&#8217;s comments come as the Department of Justice considers breaking up the company over alleged monopolistic practices in the online search sector.

"Well, I don't comment on that, but I will tell you that if I did, it's a smart thing," Trump said. "If I'm friendly with people, if I have a relationship with people, that's a good thing, not a bad thing."
Trump said his strong relationship with Putin was a positive while he was in office.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing United States Steel's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, United States Steel's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.28%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Biden Says He Hasn't Changed His Stance On US Steel

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris emphasized the importance of maintaining domestic control over steel production, even if it results in job losses. 
What Happened: Harris stated during an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36ovmQj7gbQ">MSNBC</a>, that keeping American manufacturing of steel by American workers is crucial. 
"It's most important that we maintain America's ability to have American manufacturing of steel by American workers," Harris said.
"An American company manufacturing that steel for those new industries is going to be critically important, not only in terms of our economy, but also in the context of national security," Harris continued.
This comes in response to a proposed $14.1 billion deal for Nippon Steel Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NISTF#OTC">NISTF</a>) to acquire United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>). Harris highlighted her economic policy, which includes investing in sectors like bio-manufacturing, aerospace, AI, blockchain, and nuclear energy, all requiring domestic steel production.
U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt previously told the Wall Street Journal that the company might have to shut down plants and relocate its headquarters from Pittsburgh if the deal does not go through. However, Harris argued that American-made steel is vital for the economy and national security.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div>
</figure>
Harris&#8217; comments are among the most detailed explanations from the Biden administration regarding their stance on the acquisition. She met with steel workers in Pittsburgh, whose union opposes the deal. An arbitration panel recently sided with U.S. Steel in a labor dispute related to the deal, but other hurdles remain, including a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

Why It Matters: The arbitration panel&#8217;s decision in favor of Nippon Steel Corp. was a significant development in the $14.9 billion acquisition of United States Steel Corp. The panel, selected by both the company and the United Steelworkers (USW) union, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41038172/amid-resistance-from-harris-and-trump-nippon-steel-scores-favorable-arbitration-ruling-in-14-9b-">determined that U.S. Steel</a> had met all conditions of the successorship clause in its labor agreement with the USW. Despite this ruling, the union remains opposed to the acquisition.
Earlier this month, Dave McCall, President of the United Steelworkers, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40846637/kamala-harris-opposed-14-1b-nippon-steel-acquisition-of-us-steel-labeled-by-united-steelworkers-">expressed strong opposition </a>to the deal. In a memo to the White House, he criticized US Steel executives for attempting to divide union members and retirees to gain personal financial benefits from the acquisition.
