Base and Bull scenarios

Base50%

Price target

$147.56

-36.4% from spot

Under the Base scenario, assigned a 50.0% probability, Fair value sits at $147.56, implying an expected return of -36.4% relative to $231.99 (as of 2026-10-02). This case reflects orderly commercial production across the new aluminum flat-rolled platform, capital investments conforming to guided normalized ceilings, and downstream fabrication backlogs that sustain through-cycle operating profitability above broader industry averages. Disconfirmation would occur if non-residential construction activity deteriorates or if trade enforcement fails to curb disruptive foreign steel shipments.

Capital expenditures moderate within management guided ranges
Fabrication order backlogs preserve healthy through-cycle shipment volume
Electric arc furnace cost advantages sustain operating margins above sector averages
Share repurchases continue to reduce diluted share count

Bull25%

Price target

$230.11

-0.8% from spot

The Bull scenario carries a 25.0% probability with Potential value reaching $230.11, representing an implied return of -0.8% from $231.99. In this outcome, commercial throughput at the Columbus facility accelerates ahead of schedule to achieve full through-cycle earnings power, non-residential construction demand drives sustained fabrication pricing gains, and disciplined domestic scrap pricing widens metal spreads. Substantial annual free cash flow expansion funds aggressive share repurchases. Disconfirmation would stem from unexpected startup delays or persistent contractor cost inflation.

Accelerated commercial utilization and full nameplate earnings achieved at Columbus
Non-residential construction demand drives sustained downstream pricing strength
Substantial free cash flow conversion funds accelerated share repurchases
Trade policy enforcement curtails foreign steel import penetration
