Algoma Steel Group Inc. (ASTL:CA)<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Algoma Steel was initiated by Jefferies & Co. with a “Hold” rating alongside a 12 month target price of $6.00 per share, indicating a more cautious and balanced assessment of the company\u2019s risk-reward profile. The initiation reflects uncertainty surrounding global steel demand, pricing volatility, and input cost pressures, which continue to weigh on the sector despite recent improvements in operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

Jefferies\u2019 “Hold” stance suggests that while Algoma has made progress on cost control and modernization initiatives, much of this improvement may already be reflected in the current share price. The analysts appear to view the upside to the stock as limited without clearer evidence of sustained steel price recovery and stronger end-market demand, as the company has to re-position its products into new markets as a result of the American tariffs which have distrupted the company’s sales channels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
