Commercial Metals Company (CMC) is an international enterprise specializing in the production, recycling, and fabrication of steel and metal products, along with providing related services. The company serves markets across the United States, Poland, China, and other international regions. A significant facet of its business involves processing and marketing a wide array of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals. These raw materials are supplied to a diverse clientele, including steel mills, foundries, aluminum sheet and ingot producers, brass and bronze ingot makers, copper refineries, secondary lead smelters, specialty steel manufacturers, and high-temperature alloy fabricators. Commercial Metals Company manufactures and distributes a comprehensive range of finished long steel products. These encompass reinforcing bars (rebar), merchant bars, light structural sections, and various other specialized profiles. It also provides semi-finished billets intended for re-rolling and forging applications. Specializing in custom-fabricated steel products, the company's offerings are primarily utilized for concrete reinforcement. Such products are integral to the construction of a wide array of structures, from commercial and residential buildings, healthcare facilities, and convention centers to industrial and power plants, highways, bridges, and expansive public venues like arenas, stadiums, and dams. Beyond its fabrication activities, CMC supplies construction-related equipment and products, both for sale and rent, catering to concrete installers and other commercial enterprises. Additionally, the firm produces niche items such as robust strength bars for the truck trailer industry, specialized bar steels engineered for the energy market, and armor plates designated for military vehicles.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
12.9How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
8.5%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
9.2%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
5.3%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
0.9Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
13.6%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
18.6%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.8Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
