BLUESCOPE STEEL LTD-2.53%

2351 GMT - BlueScope Steel faces persistent market challenges in the second half of fiscal 2025, says Citi analyst Paul McTaggart. He trims Citi's target on the stock to A$21.00 from A$21.50 and retains a neutral rating. Steel prices in both Asia and the U.S. have softened in recent weeks, while the price of raw ingredient iron ore has moved higher. "FY25 is shaping up as a continuation of tough market conditions in steel," McTaggart says. Citi now expects BlueScope to report FY25 Ebit around A$597 million, 9.9% lower than previously forecast, says McTaggart. Market consensus is around A$700 million. BlueScope reported FY24 Ebit of A$1.34 billion. Its stock is down 0.6% at A$20.04. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
