Outperform

$28.70

26.21%

First half results were at the top end of BlueScope Steel's guidance and the outlook appears largely in line with Macquarie's expectations. FY30 EBIT potential is $1.9-2.4bn and besides cost savings US spread recovery is a key driver.

While North America was weaker than expected, in particular the loss recorded in the coated products business, the company is confident this will improve.

Macquarie increases FY25 EPS estimate by 10% and FY26 by 7.6% and maintains an Outperform rating. Target is raised to $28.70 from $24.90.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 60.00 cents and EPS of 97.70 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 60.00 cents and EPS of 277.00 cents.

Goldman Sachs

Buy

$27.70

21.81%

BlueScope Steel's first half results were ahead of Goldman Sachs estimates and at the top end of the EBIT guidance range. The beat was mostly driven by Australian steel products (ASP). Cash flow and the interim dividend were in line with expectations.

The company has announced a cost of productivity improvement program and a 2030 EBIT growth target of $500m from projects. Some land sales are also expected to be monetised of the next 18 months.

Goldman Sachs considers the outlook conservative and continues to rate the stock a Buy because of its compelling valuation and strong balance sheet. Target is raised to $27.70 from $26.70.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 60.00 cents and EPS of 105.00 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 60.00 cents and EPS of 225.00 cents.
