Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Strong H1 results and clear growth catalysts (new plant, full control of BBC Alloys, MENA JV) improve volume potential and EBITDA trajectory, which typically supports higher valuation for steel/trading peers. Execution risk remains, but near-term catalysts are tangible.
