Description: ZEUS Olympic Steel October 26, 2025
Olympic Steel, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZEUS) is a North-American metal processor and distributor founded in 1954 and headquartered in Highland Hills, Ohio. The firm operates three business segments-Carbon Flat Products, Specialty Metals Flat Products, and Tubular & Pipe Products-serving a broad customer base that includes transportation manufacturers, construction equipment makers, and metal service centers.
Its product portfolio spans stainless-steel and aluminum coils, heat-treated and abrasion-resistant plates, coated steels (galvanized, galvannealed, advanced high-strength), hot-rolled carbon steel, and a full line of tubing, pipe, and valve components. Olympic Steel also offers extensive value-added processing such as cutting-to-length, laser slitting, stretcher-leveling, and custom fabrication, positioning it as a one-stop source for downstream fabricators.
Key operating metrics from the most recent 10-K (2023) show revenue of roughly $1.2 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin near 6 %, and inventory levels around $300 million, reflecting a capacity utilization rate of approximately 78 % in its flat-product lines. The segment’s performance is highly sensitive to macro drivers like U.S. construction spending, automotive demand for high-strength steel, and the lingering effects of steel import tariffs, which together shape pricing and volume trends in the domestic steel market.
