Description: RS Reliance Steel & Aluminum October 30, 2025

Reliance, Inc. (formerly Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co.) is a diversified metals service center that distributes a broad portfolio of metal alloys-including aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and titanium-to OEMs across the United States and Canada. Its processing services support end-markets such as construction, transportation, aerospace, energy, electronics, and heavy industrial machinery, with sales primarily channeled through small-to-mid-size machine shops and fabricators.

As of FY 2024, the company reported revenue of roughly $11 billion and an operating margin near 7%, reflecting modest pricing power amid volatile steel prices. Inventory turnover has accelerated to 4.2 × annual, indicating tighter working-capital management. The business is highly sensitive to macro-drivers like U.S. housing starts, federal infrastructure spending, and global steel price spreads, which together account for a significant portion of demand fluctuations in the steel sub-industry.
