Description: MTUS Metallus October 23, 2025
Metallus, Inc. (NYSE: MTUS) is a U.S.–based manufacturer of alloy, carbon, and micro-alloy steel products, supplying special-bar-quality (SBQ) bars, seamless tubes, precision components, and billets to a broad range of end-markets including automotive, energy, aerospace, defense, heavy-truck, and rail. The company, originally TimkenSteel, rebranded in February 2024 and traces its roots to 1899, with headquarters in Canton, Ohio.
Key industry metrics that shape Metallus’s outlook include: (1) U.S. steel demand, which grew ~4 % YoY in Q2 2024 driven by a rebound in construction and automotive production; (2) capacity utilization in the specialty steel segment, hovering around 78 %-a level that suggests modest pricing power but limited upside without additional plant investment; and (3) the ongoing impact of Section 232 tariffs, which have kept imported alloy steel prices roughly 6-8 % above domestic levels, supporting Metallus’s gross margins. Additionally, the global shift toward electrified vehicles and wind-energy turbines is boosting demand for high-strength, low-weight steel components-core products in Metallus’s portfolio.
