Macquarie analyst Aldo Mazzaferro said steel pricing in recent weeks has fallen to slightly less than $500 a ton in spot markets, but said the good news is there is less incentive for imports to lower US pricing. The analyst cut U.S. Steel's earnings expectations on the price weakness and continued disappointing steel volumes and now estimates EBITDA at $487M this year and $765M in 2018 and lowered his price target to $13 from $20. Mazzaferro rates U.S. Steel an Underperform.
