These best performing stocks for week 3 recorded between 5.3 percent to 34.5 percent for their gain by the end of the trading week.
Australian investors can gain exposure to the steel sector in a number of ways, but a more direct play would be to invest in stocks whose earnings are leveraged to the steel cycle. Australian sharemarket analyst, Macquarie Research Equities (MRE), have provided a steel sector update with the three stocks that stand out. The three outstanding steel sector stocks are OneSteel (OST), Bluescope Steel (BSL) and Sims Group (SGM). The analyst remains bullish on the outlook for the steel sector, and have "Outperform" recommendations on two of three aforementioned stocks.
Monadelphous Group (MND) was the overall worst performing stock taking in 18.07 percent decrease. Among the worst performing stocks for the week 32 of 2007 of the Australian sharemarket were a mixture of engineering & infrastructure, steel and mining: Downer EDI (DOW), OneSteel (OST), Zinifex (ZFX), Monadelphous (MND), Energy Resource Australian (ERA), Perilya (PEM). These worst performing stocks for week 32 recorded losses above 10.4 percent by the end of the trading week. Mining companies were dominating both the ASX 100 index and the ASX 200 index in the worst performing stocks list.
OneSteel (OST) has a reiterated Outperform recommendation and a 12 month share price target of $7.20 from Australian stockmarket analyst Macquarie Research Equities. They believe OneSteel (OST) remains a "solid story", with the iron ore business offering further potential and upside risk to current pricing assumptions. The key message is that the analysts' commodities team is more bullish on the bulk commodities market and the steel market. Demand in the Asian region and China in particular continues to fuel further pricing growth. The big changes for the analysts relate to the coking coal price and the iron ore price. Both have increased and this has both positive and negative impacts for OneSteel. OST sells iron ore into the Chinese market place so the increase is positive but it is also a large consumer of coking coal in the Whyalla blast furnace. Steel price increases also have a negative impact. The net result of these changes is fairly neutral for earnings but positive for longer-term valuations. OneSteel (OST)
