AK Steel's stock jumps after profit and revenue beat, given 'favorable' pricing environment

Shares of AK Steel Corp. ran up 2.3% in premarket trade Monday, after the steelmaker reported first-quarter earnings and sales that beat expectations, and provided an upbeat outlook. Net income fell to $28.7 million, or 9 cents a share, from $84.4 million, or 26 cents a share, in the same period a year ago. The FactSet consensus for earnings per share was 1 cent. Revenue rose to $1.66 billion from $1.53 billion, above the FactSet consensus of $1.57 billion. Chief Executive Roger Newport attributed the results to a "favorable pricing environment" and "solid demand" across most of its end markets, including automotive. The company said it expects market conditions will strengthen in the second quarter, as carbon, stainless steel and tubular and stamping products should continue to benefit from the strength in the automotive market. "The high level of imports, particularly the ongoing surge of foreign electrical steel, remains a challenge and we will continue to work proactively with the Trump Administration to ensure fair and appropriate trade policies," Newport said. The stock has tumbled 16.1% year to date through Friday, while the S&P 500 has eased 0.1%.

Metals ETF on track for worst day in a year and a half on trade concerns

The largest exchange-traded fund to track the metals and mining sector tumbled on Thursday, as concerns mounted over the Trump administration's trade policies. The SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF sank 5% and was on track for its biggest one-day percentage drop since September 2016. Among its biggest components, U.S. Steel Corp. fell 9.9% while AK Steel Holding was down 8%. Nucor Corp. was down 5.6%. Alcoa Inc. tumbled 6%. The VanEck Vectors Steel ETF was down 6%.

The tariffs are expected to target sensitive technologies that the U.S. considers vital to the U.S. economy in the years ahead. The administration had previously called for tariffs on steel and aluminum.

Metals and mining ETF tumbles after Trump details tariffs policy

The largest exchange-traded fund to track the metals and mining sector fell on Thursday, after President Donald Trump outlined a policy on tariffs that is scheduled to go into effect in 15 days.

Century Aluminum sank 5.9%; it has dropped in nine of the past 13 days. Trump's tariff policy, which has been met with opposition from members of his own party, includes tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.2% while the S&P 500 was up 0.3% and the Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 0.3%.

Steel and aluminum stocks sink as Trump expected to sign watered down tariff decree

Shares of steel and aluminum producers sank in afternoon trade Thursday, ahead of the expected signing by President Donald Trump of a somewhat softer tariff decree than the one announced last month following widespread pressure to change his tone. Shares of U.S. Steel Corp. dropped 3.6%, AK Steel Holding Corp. shed 4.7%, Nucor Corp. slid 3.5%, Steel Dynamics Inc. fell 3.6% and Commercial Metals Co. gave up 4.3%. Among aluminum producers, shares of Alcoa Corp. lost 1.8%, Century Aluminum Co. tumbled 9.1% and Kaiser Aluminum Corp. were down 1.5%. The SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF dropped 2.6%. Trump is expected to sign proclamations on steel and aluminum imports at 3:30 p.m. ET, with Trump saying he has the right to move the tariffs "up or down" depending on the country. On Feb. 16, the sector surged after Trump said he was planning a 25% tariff on steel imports from all countries and a 10% tariff on aluminum imports. The metals & mining ETF has now lost 3.7% since Feb. 16, while the S&P 500 has inched 0.2% lower over the same time.

Steel and aluminum stocks rally after Gary Cohn resignation paves way for tariff announcement

Shares of steel and aluminum companies among the few sectors seeing broad gains Wednesday, as the resignation of Gary Cohn appeared to pave the way for President Donald Trump to push through the import tariffs. U.S. Steel Corp.'s stock surged 2.9% in afternoon trade. Meanwhile, Cowen analyst Novid Rassouli said U.S. Steel's announcement early Wednesday that it restart one of its two blast furnaces and the steelmaking facilities at its Granite City, Ill. plant "appears somewhat premature" given that Trump hasn't announced an official decision yet. Elsewhere, shares of AK Steel Holdings Corp. rose 0.9%, Steel Dynamics Inc. climbed 1.0% and Nucor Corp. rallied 2.0%. Among aluminum makers, shares of Alcoa Corp. gained 0.5% and Century Aluminum Co. advanced 2.5%. The S&P 500 was down 0.4%, with 7 of 11 key sector ETFs trading lower.

Metals ETF surges after Trump announces steel and aluminum tariffs

An exchange-traded fund that tracks the metals and mining sector rallied on Thursday, after President Donald Trump said would institute tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum next week. The SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF gained 3.31% in volatile trading and was on track for its biggest one-day percentage advance since Feb. 14. According to the report, the U.S. will impose a 25% tariff on steel imports and a 10% tariff on aluminum imports. Among the components of the ETF, United States Steel Corp. spiked 7.4% while AK Steel Holding Corp. was up 10.1% and Nucor Corp. was up 3.2%. All were trading near their highs of the session and extended recent gains. U.S. Steel is up more than 32% thus far this year, compared with the 0.9% rise of the S&P 500 over the same period of time. Much of those gains started in mid-February, when the U.S. Commerce Department recommended a 24% tariff on steel imports from all countries, and a 7.7% tariff on aluminum imports, among other options. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% on Thursday while the S&P 500 was off 0.5% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 0.5%.
