Over the past six months, Worthington Steel's stock was impacted by several events. In Q1 Fiscal 2027 (October 2026), the company reported a 212% surge in net sales to $2.7 billion (9% excluding Kloeckner) but a controlling-interest net loss of $0.14 per diluted share, missing analyst estimates and causing a 10.5% stock tumble. The majority acquisition of German metals distributor and processor Kloeckner & Co SE in June 2026 significantly expanded its footprint and product offerings, driving the Q1 revenue growth. The company also declared quarterly dividends in October and June 2026. Its joint venture, TWB Company, received two supplier awards from Subaru in September 2026. The stock experienced fluctuations due to broader U.S. steel rallies, investor positioning, and analyst ratings, trending up by 4.71% in the past six months, with analysts giving a consensus 'Hold' rating. Tight U.S. steel supply, low imports, and extended lead times constrained shipments but supported pricing.
