Universal Stainless & Alloy Products (USAP)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company manufactures and markets semi-finished and finished specialty steel products, including stainless steel, tool steel and certain other alloyed steels.

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 members 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.

I like the specialty aspect of this company...while bulk steel producers fight for the lowest cost, USAP can demand better prices due to their specialization and custom applications...should keep them in the green for a while...

Long term I am not as bearish on economy as rest of crowd.

"Sky is falling. Last bulish analysts start thinking of depression." Time to buy for me.

I am staying out of banks and walking zombies.

This company is not a low cost player. They are focused on value add specialty steel alloys.

I am going to call green here.

Universal Stainless & Alloy Products – USAP has a wide range of steel products for many types of specific applications. They create many specialized alloys and finished products (plate, sheets, round stock, bar stock).

Global steel demand continues to be strong. More so in emerging markets. There is still demand for building infrastructure and building industry. Steel prices have been rising steadily.

From: http://www.forbes.com/afxnewslimited/feeds/afx/2008/05/23/afx5043937.html
“… apparent steel use in China rose 13 per cent to 408 million tonnes in 2007. India saw an 11.3 percent increase to 51 mln tonnes, while in Russia steel use grew 13.5 percent to almost 40 million tonnes and in Brazil demand rose 18.6 percent to 22 million tonnes. The Middle East and Africa are also experiencing very strong demand growth …”

Steel price will keep going up. Even though the company is based in the US, it'll find ways to be competitive and innovative.
