Gerdau S.A.
Gerdau S.A. (ticker: GGB) is a Brazil‑headquartered steel producer best known for long steel products, special steels and extensive scrap recycling. The company serves construction, industrial and agricultural customers across Brazil, North America and other Latin American markets. With a market capitalisation of about $6.47bn, Gerdau operates in a cyclical, commodity‑driven sector where volumes, prices and margins shift with economic activity, construction demand and scrap availability. Investors should note exposure to the Brazilian real, global steel spreads and raw‑material costs, as well as operational risks such as capacity utilisation and competition. Gerdau’s electric‑arc furnaces and recycling focus can help control costs and support sustainability goals, but profitability remains sensitive to demand and commodity swings. The firm has historically returned cash via dividends and buybacks, though payments vary with cash flow. This summary is general educational information and not financial advice; investments can fall as well as rise and may not be suitable for everyone.
