Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Near-term negative EBITDA guidance and shipment headwinds weigh on sentiment; the upbeat elements (EAF ramp, power restoration) are priced as a future catalyst but may take time to flow through margins, resembling other capex-driven steel transitions where stock reacts to timing risk and pricing recovery. Historical analogs show EAF-based transformations can take multiple quarters to lift profitability, creating initial price pressure followed by potential upside as ramp progresses.
