Description: SZG Salzgitter August 20, 2025
Salzgitter AG, listed on XETRA under the ticker symbol SZG, is a German steel company operating within the Steel GICS sub-industry. The companys stock is a common stock issue.
The steel industry is highly cyclical, with prices and demand influenced by global economic conditions, particularly in construction, automotive, and manufacturing sectors. Key economic drivers for Salzgitter AG include global steel demand, raw material prices (such as iron ore and coking coal), and European construction and automotive industry trends.
To evaluate Salzgitter AGs performance, relevant KPIs include revenue growth, EBITDA margins, and capacity utilization rates. The companys ability to manage raw material costs, optimize production, and maintain a competitive pricing strategy in the global steel market is crucial. Additionally, the companys debt-to-equity ratio and interest coverage ratio are important metrics to assess its financial health and leverage.
Given the negative Return on Equity (RoE) of -9.48%, it is clear that Salzgitter AG is currently facing profitability challenges. The forward Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 3.23 suggests that the market expects a significant improvement in earnings. Investors should closely monitor the companys quarterly earnings reports, particularly the tax provision, to understand the underlying drivers of profitability.
The high Beta of 2.008 indicates that Salzgitter AGs stock is highly sensitive to market movements, making it a potentially high-risk investment. The stocks price volatility, as measured by the Average True Range (ATR) of 0.85 (3.92%), further supports this assessment. Investors should be prepared for significant price swings and consider their risk tolerance before investing.
