Comments from Steel Dynamics on a recent earnings call and a share buyback from SGH suggest the pair are no longer actively pursuing a takeover of BlueScope Steel, according to Goldman Sachs. The bank reinstates BlueScope with a buy rating and A$37.70/share target. GS says BlueScope should benefit from positive tailwinds to near-term steel prices. The steelmaker has a strong balance sheet, improving free cash flow and trades at roughly 6x Ebitda versus global peers at 7x, it says. Shares in BlueScope are up 0.6% at 31.66 Australian dollars.
