UBS analyst Andreas Bokkenheuser last night initiated Nucor with a Neutral rating and $65 price target. The analyst is cautious on the U.S. Steel sector as he believes demand is in structural decline, falling 1% per year over the past 20 years. The recent price rally was supply, not demand driven, Bokkenheuser tells investors in a research note. He believes that leading indicators now point to a mid-year price and volume reversal.

BMO Capital lowered the firm's price target on Nucor to $200 from $210 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares after its Q1 earnings miss. Following nine consecutive quarters of beating expectations, Nucor's results and outlook disappointed, while its Q2 results are also expected to moderate sequentially, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Nucor remains well-positioned to benefit from positive longer-term demand tailwinds, but its capex spending elevated, BMO adds.
