Worthington Steel is reaffirmed as a 'buy' following its $2.4 billion acquisition of Kloeckner, which expands its footprint across North America and offers significant growth opportunities. The company's Q3 2026 revenue grew 12%, mainly due to price increases, but profitability declined due to margin compression and lower toll volumes. The investment case depends on achieving $150 million in annual cost synergies by 2028; failure to do so would make the deal less attractive because of higher interest expenses. Despite near-term profit pressures and industry challenges, Worthington Steel remains attractively valued with strategic investments aimed at growth in automotive and electrical steel sectors.
