GrafTech International Ltd
GrafTech International Ltd (ticker: EAF) manufactures graphite electrodes used primarily in electric arc furnaces (EAFs) for steel production. With a market capitalisation around $455M, the company’s performance is closely tied to global steel demand, EAF adoption rates and electrode pricing cycles. GrafTech benefits when steelmakers favour EAF routes and when electrode supply tightness supports pricing, but it is also sensitive to raw-material and energy costs and to shifts in steelmaking capacity. Investors should note the sector’s cyclical nature, meaningful exposure to commodity cycles and exposure to international markets and regulation. GrafTech can offer a leveraged way to play trends in EAF-based steelmaking, but returns are not guaranteed — values can rise and fall. This summary is educational and not personalised advice; investors should check up-to-date financials, debt levels and suitability for their own objectives and risk tolerance before deciding.
