Ryerson Holding Corporation (RYI)

In the past six months, Ryerson Holding Corp. reported a decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2025, but an increase in adjusted EBITDA. Net sales increased due to higher average selling prices, influenced by tariffs, but were partially offset by slowed customer activity. The company maintained its quarterly cash dividend but did not repurchase shares. For the third quarter of 2025, Ryerson anticipates a decrease in customer shipments due to seasonality and recessed demand, but expects average selling prices to increase.

Ryerson Holding Corp.'s products and services experience demand seasonality. The company expects a decrease in customer shipments due to normal seasonality patterns. This seasonality, combined with recessed manufacturing and industrial metal demand, leads to cautious customer behavior. Historically, North American industry volumes have performed below normal seasonal levels in the second quarter.
