Description: CMC Commercial Metals November 07, 2025

Commercial Metals Company (NYSE:CMC) manufactures, recycles, and fabricates a broad portfolio of steel and metal products across the United States, Poland, China, and other international markets. The firm operates through three segments-North America Steel Group, Europe Steel Group, and Emerging Businesses Group-serving steel mills, foundries, construction firms, and specialty end-users with both raw scrap metal and finished long-steel items such as reinforcing bar, merchant bar, and fabricated rebar.

Key metrics from the latest fiscal year show revenue of roughly $5 billion and an adjusted EBITDA margin near 13%, reflecting the company’s integrated recycling model that captures low-cost scrap while mitigating exposure to volatile iron-ore prices. Demand for CMC’s products is closely linked to U.S. construction activity; the sector’s year-over-year growth of 4.5% in 2024 and the $1.2 trillion infrastructure investment package are primary tailwinds. Conversely, global steel overcapacity-particularly in China-pressures pricing, making CMC’s focus on high-margin specialty steels (e.g., armor plates, energy-sector bar steels) a strategic hedge.
