Description: CMC Commercial Metals January 10, 2026
Commercial Metals Company (NYSE:CMC) is a vertically integrated steel producer that mines, recycles, and fabricates ferrous and non-ferrous metal products across North America, Europe, and emerging markets. Its operations are organized into three segments: North America Steel Group, Europe Steel Group, and Emerging Businesses Group, covering everything from scrap processing to finished long-steel items such as rebar, merchant bar, and specialty sections.
Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year show an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 13% and a capacity utilization rate of about 85% in its North American facilities, reflecting strong demand in construction and infrastructure. The company’s revenue is highly correlated with U.S. residential and non-residential construction spending, which has been buoyed by a 4.2% YoY increase in building permits and a 3% rise in the Producer Price Index for steel. Additionally, CMC benefits from a growing “green steel” niche, as its scrap-based production yields lower carbon intensity-a factor gaining traction amid tightening ESG regulations.
