Management is aggressively buying up competitors and small companies that fit into the company's profile; they will soon reach economies of scale. Also, their strength in supplying energy, aerospace, and non-residential construction will pad them from their industry's cyclical nature.

With rumors of a possible RS being taken over in the future, and economic forces in Reliance's favor, Reliance Steel is a solid pick over the next year. Although it has seen a high percentage increase this year, I maintain a price target of 50-53 over the next year.

The alu and steel industry has undergone big structural changes over the last couple of years and still will start to pay off.

The price to forecast '06 earnings ratio is 6.8. That's a ratio more appropriate to a highly cyclical metal mill. RS will be hit less by industry cycles because it passes through most of the costs of the underlying metals. I also believe that with this year's acquisitions they're now the largest player in their space, which should give them a little negotiating leverage with the metal producers.
