KeyBanc analyst Philip Gibbs notes that the Trump administration announced the U.S. will be ratcheting up import tariffs to 25% from 10% on about $200B worth of Chinese goods. All else equal, Gibbs sees this as a modest negative for steel producers as key consumables remain sticky, and a relative neutral for ArcelorMittal (MT) given its global exposure. On steelmaking raw materials, the analyst sees this as a neutral for Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) and a negative for Schnitzer Steel (SCHN), with the latter in the heart of challenged non-ferrous export markets. He also views this largely as a neutral for distributors, with perhaps a modest positive of Worthington's (WOR) Cylinders segment. Clearer winners appear to be Global Brass and Copper (BRSS), Luxfer (LXFR), and Materion (MTRN), whereby it will be tougher for the Chinese to compete within the U.S. in its core businesses.
