As previously reported, Morgan Stanley downgraded U.S. Steel to Equal Weight from Overweight. Analyst Evan Kurtz said U.S. Steel reported weak Q3 results last week and cut 2015 EBITDA guidance to $225M versus his estimate of $370M. Kurtz now has a negative skew on its base case for U.S. Steel and his new 2016 EBITDA estimate falls to $410M, below consensus of $737M. Given the deteriorating outlook, Kurtz lowered his price target on shares to $19 from $30.
