Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co.

Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co.

Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (RS) operates an extensive network of metal service centres that procures, processes and distributes a wide range of steel and aluminium products to manufacturers and fabricators across diverse industries. With a market capitalisation near $14.66 billion, the company benefits from scale, decentralised operations and a long record of bolt‑on acquisitions that broaden its geographic and product footprint. Performance is cyclical — sales and margins follow industrial activity, construction and commodity price movements — so earnings can expand in tight supply conditions and contract in downturns. Management has historically balanced reinvestment, acquisitions and shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks. Key investor considerations include sensitivity to macroeconomic cycles, commodity-price volatility and the company’s ability to pass costs to customers. This summary is educational only and not personalised advice; values can fall as well as rise, and readers should assess suitability and risk tolerance before investing.

Cyclical Industrial Demand

Sales and margins move with industrial activity and construction; returns can be strong in tight markets but vary with economic cycles.

🌍

Diversified End Markets
