- Special Report: The Biggest IPO Ever: Claim Your Stake Today
Commercial Metals' (NYSE: CMC) stock is down at the end of Q1 2026 amid macroeconomic concerns and potential disruptions that aren't reflected in its results. The move has left the stock overextended near a six-month low and poised for a sharp snapback. The technical setup suggests market dynamics have shifted, and a sustainable rebound and uptrend are ready to form. CMC’s share price could quickly reclaim its critical support target and then continue advancing as the year progresses. The critical support target is $65. This level aligns with a long-term exponential moving average that was broken in early March as geopolitical tensions mounted.
Twenty-one banks - including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley - are competing to underwrite the SpaceX IPO, internally codenamed 'Project Apex.' At a $1.75 trillion valuation, it would be the largest IPO in Wall Street history.
Studies show 95% of total profits are made before a company goes public. Dr. Mark Skousen has identified a little-known fund run by a Wall Street legend who already turned Tesla into a 30-bagger - and is now betting big on SpaceX ahead of an expected June IPO.

It also reflects long-term, buy-and-hold market sentiment, including institutional holders, who are accumulating stock in 2026. MarketBeat’s data shows institutions own a solid 87% of the materials company, providing a strong support base after 11 consecutive quarters of accumulation. Although institutional selling increased in Q1 2026, net buying grew more, resulting in a multiyear high in institutional ownership. The takeaway: institutions repositioned in Q1 but remain generally bullish. They are likely to keep buying, given the low price point in late March and early April, which should help underpin the projected stock-price rally for the year. Short-sellers are also a factor, having increased activity in 2025 and into Q1 2026, but they present less of a hurdle and more of an opportunity. At nearly 4%, short interest is not prohibitively high and could fuel a rally driven by short covering. The key catalyst for covering could be stronger growth, wider margins, and higher capital returns. 
Commercial Metals Grows, Widens Margins, Increases Capital ReturnsCommercial Metals Company delivered a largely positive fiscal Q2 2026, with revenue rising 21.7% to nearly $2.15 billion. Revenue beat analyst consensus by about 2.9%, driven by volume and pricing. Steel shipment volumes were relatively flat in North America and Europe, but favorable pricing helped drive top-line growth and margin expansion. The Construction Solutions Group (CSG) was the standout, growing 98% on the strength of demand, pricing, and acquisitions—focused largely on a precast concrete platform that is central to the company’s growth strategy. The 14-cent miss in adjusted earnings masks stronger fundamentals: a 31-cent year-over-year increase in EPS and a 114% rise in core EBITDA. EBITDA margin widened by 610 basis points thanks to execution, favorable conditions, and the accretive impact of acquisitions. One-time acquisition-related items depressed near-term results but should support revenue and margin expansion over time. Guidance is another reason CMC stock could rebound in fiscal Q3. Management expects EBITDA to improve meaningfully versus Q2, underpinned by CSG strength—CSG EBITDA is expected to nearly double, and management's outlook may be conservative. Early indicators point to a solid spring and summer construction season, a growing backlog, and additional efficiencies expected. Management has also signaled confidence through capital returns. The company increased its dividend by more than 10% year over year while enhancing shareholder returns with buybacks. The dividend yield is roughly 1.2%, and repurchases have reduced the share count by about 1.4% fiscal‑year‑to‑date. Analyst Trends Add Upward Price PressureEarly analyst responses to CMC’s update were measured but generally reaffirmed the bullish trends. The analysts who reaffirmed price targets carry a Moderate Buy rating and imply roughly 22.5% upside. If the company continues to execute, those trends could strengthen through the year. The consensus target of $73 places the stock well above its critical support level, while the high end of analyst estimates suggests potential for fresh all-time highs. Commercial Metals has several catalysts that could drive performance later this year. Tariffs and pricing remain favorable to the business, and the company’s Transform, Advance, Grow strategy aims to deliver $150 million in annualized cost savings by year-end. Additionally, a new West Virginia mill is expected to boost revenue and margins through technological improvements, and further integration of the precast platform should enhance results. Risks include market volatility, geopolitical tensions, and execution challenges, but the setup points to a meaningful rebound opportunity for CMC in 2026. |
