04:35 PM EDT, 05/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We increase our 12-month target price by $5 to $44, which values U.S. Steel at an EV/EBITDA of 7.4x our 2026 EBITDA estimate, above X's three-year avg. forward EV/EBITDA of 5.1x, but in line with peers. We decrease our 2025 EPS estimate by $0.61 to $1.75 and our 2026 EPS forecast by $0.12 to $2.55. X posted Q1 adj. loss per share of $0.39 vs. adj. EPS of $0.82, a beat relative to consensus of $0.08. Q1 sales declined by 10.4% Y/Y, but beat consensus by 4.7%. The Q1 adjusted EBITDA of $172M represents a significant 59% decrease Y/Y, primarily driven by lower average selling prices and reduced demand across all operating segments. Looking ahead, U.S. Steel expects Q2 2025 adjusted EBITDA to improve to a range of $375M-$425M. This outlook is based on anticipated increases in the North American Flat-Rolled segment as seasonal constraints ease improvements in the Mini Mill segment due to higher average selling prices and volumes from Big River 2.
