Forward Guidance
Strong demand across multiple end-use markets should support robust shipment levels of finished steel during the fourth quarter in both North America and Europe. Margins over scrap on steel products in North America and Europe are expected to be relatively flat or up modestly from third quarter levels.
Positive Outlook
- Strong demand across multiple end-use markets should support robust shipment levels of finished steel during the fourth quarter in both North America and Europe.
- Construction activity is strong and the industrial sectors are growing in both the U.S. and Central Europe, as both regions continue to recover from the pandemic.
- Increased willingness of downstream customers in our North America segment to contract new work.
- Stability of our construction backlog both point to continued demand strength.
- Several widely monitored construction indicators that generally lead activity by nine to twelve months, which have improved significantly in 2021.
Challenges Ahead
- Margins over scrap on steel products in North America and Europe to be relatively flat or up modestly from third quarter levels.
