BlueScope Steel's plans to expand further in the U.S. by investing in midstream capacity have fallen down the agenda.

BlueScope Steel isn't in talks with suitors Steel Dynamics and SGH but would be open to a takeover proposal that meets its expectations, the company's new chief executive officer said in an interview.

Shares of BlueScope Steel were down 2% in early trading on Thursday after the company rejected a A$13.2 billion ($8.87 billion) takeover offer from Australian conglomerate SGH and U.S.-based Steel Dynamics.

BlueScope argued that the bid didn't reflect the value expected to be realized through current initiatives, including growth investments and land monetization.

BlueScope Steel Limited (BLSFF) Q2 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

BlueScope Steel Limited is an Australian steel producer with substantial activities in the USA. A higher-than-expected steel price during the past semester has resulted in a guidance increase. Steel prices have softened again, so I'm not expecting FY 2024 to be better than FY 2023 at this point.
