Ternium's steel demand and Pasqueria expansion drive 32% stock upside potential despite execution risks.

Ternium shows strong growth with a 5% rise in Mexican steel shipments and a 50% jump in adjusted EBITDA to $717 million in Q2. The company’s major Pasqueria expansion, aimed at USMCA automotive clients, is delayed to early 2027, posing execution and cash flow risks. Despite challenges from Brazil and Argentina demand, Ternium’s valuation model suggests a 32% upside to $75.67 per ADS, contingent on successful project delivery and resolution of a $599 million litigation risk involving Usiminas.

Ternium stock and its outlook come with notable market context from the Basic Materials sector on Pluang. For readers following this sector, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Sep 18, 2026 07:01 WIB: out of 31 priced US Basic Materials stocks, 25 rose and 6 fell today.
