The case for and against

Updated Oct 21, 2026

Bull case

Algoma Steel Group is positioned for upside because its transition to electric-arc-furnace steelmaking should lower long-term input costs, expand value-added product offerings, and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 70%. The company’s earnings potential also improves if steel prices recover in 2026 and tariff discounts subside, with upside cases showing EBITDA of $237MM in 2028 and $335MM in 2027 alongside a 75% monetization probability for LSP. While elevated execution and tariff risk remain, its sustainability strategy, strategic location, and dependence on U.S. steel sheet and strip demand support a stronger fundamental outlook.

Bear case

Algoma Steel Group is facing a negative outlook because tariffs and macro headwinds are pressuring realized selling prices and volumes, especially given its heavy exposure to U.S. customers and hot-rolled coil pricing. Its smaller scale, single-asset base, and Canada’s sheet oversupply leave it less able to absorb competitive pressure than larger peers, while the transition from blast furnace to EAF adds execution risk, higher interim costs, and potential project overruns. The downside cases imply sharply weaker profitability and cash generation, with EBITDA modeled at $205MM in 2028 and $290MM in 2027, underscoring sensitivity to operating issues, overcapacity, and supply-chain input costs.
