BSL - BLUESCOPE STEEL LIMITED
Macquarie rates BSL as Outperform (1) - To reflect the re-rating of US peers, Macquarie lifts its North American multiples for both North Star and Building & Coated Products. The broker also expects an earnings recovery based on recovering steel prices in the US (and spreads).
Steel prices also appear to be bottoming in Asia, though spreads are being supported more by moderating prices of steel inputs, suggests Macquarie.
As occurred in Australia, BlueScope Steel's US portfolio composition is moving towards less volatile, value-added revenues over time, explains the analyst.
