JPMorgan analyst Michael Gambardella upgraded Commercial Metals (CMC) to Overweight and raised his price target for the shares to $30 from $24 to reflect his expectation for higher steel prices. Tariffs from the 232 ruling and consolidation in the rebar market should lead to higher rebar prices, Gambardella tells investors in a research note. The analyst is also "doubling down" on U.S. Steel (X) and boosted his price target for the shares to $69.
