Reliance Steel & Aluminum (RS)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company provides metal processing services and distributes a full line of a number of metal products, including alloy, aluminum, brass, copper, carbon steel, titanium, stainless steel and specialty steel products, to a range of industries.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

CAPS is now my place to test stocks for my newsletter.


I like investing in good companies that fit into a macro economic/societal trend I see currently occuring or coming.


So on the macro level I think steel and other metals still have room to run.

I work for this company and the stock continues to make money. Reliance has purchased many regional players in the market and incorporated them under a more efficient umbrella of distribution. There will be some volatility with this stock as the demand for steel here in US has dropped over the past month or so.. However,, its strong management and low margins should continue to make this stock a great investment over the long term.

So on the macro level I think steel and other metals still have room to run.


On the specific company I like the following information about the company: "One of the Company's subsidiaries has an international location in South Korea that serves the Asian semiconductor markets. Another subsidiary opened a metals service center in Belgium in January 2003 to service the European aerospace market. On March 1, 2006, the Company 70%- owned joint venture company, based in Singapore, acquired a metals service center company in China that mainly serves the electronics industry in China."
