BlueScope Bull Says Asset-Sales Talks Make Sense -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Apr 20

0102 GMT - BlueScope Steel would be sensible to be discussing the possible sale of its North American assets, says Jefferies analyst Ramoun Lazar. He cites the "unique attraction of North Star, the opportunity for value realization, and ability for BSL shareholders to retain any upside in the [non-North American] assets via spreads and recent growth capex spend." Jefferies has an undisturbed valuation on the North American assets of roughly US$7 billion. Lazar's remarks follow a media report in the Australian Financial Review that BlueScope is preparing to auction the North American operations. Jefferies has a buy rating and A$35 target on BlueScope. Shares are up 1.0% at A$28.87. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
