Demand for Commercial Metals Co.'s products and services is linked to the construction and industrial sectors, which can experience seasonality. Construction activity often slows down during winter months, which can lead to a modest decline in core EBITDA. The demand for galvanized steel bars is driven by rapid urbanization and infrastructure development. The North American construction market provides structural tailwinds from U.S. infrastructure spending.
