Upturn Advisory & Investor View for SID

09/18/2026: SID (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (SID) is a large, integrated Brazilian industrial company operating primarily in steel production, iron ore mining, and cement. The company’s primary strengths include its vertical integration from mine to port and ownership of key logistics assets, which enhance its operational efficiency. Its main growth opportunity lies in leveraging its expanded cement capacity and participating in future infrastructure development. However, investors must consider risks such as high financial leverage, the cyclical nature of commodity prices, and exposure to Brazilian economic volatility. The stock may suit value-oriented investors seeking commodity exposure, though it requires monitoring of debt levels and global industrial demand.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

SID receives a 3-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

SID has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and soft ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+24.3%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -15.4%), moderate revenue growth (+0.5%), soft profitability (net margin -4.5%).

Financial Health Rating

SID's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 16.4% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is SID's strongest growth driver at +24.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-314.6%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 2.3% and approximately 47.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Renaissance Technologies Corp 0.38%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 0.33%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 0.26%
Citadel Advisors Llc 0.16%
Jane Street Group LLC 0.14%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

SID generates approximately $270 of gross profit, $106 of operating income, and $-154 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 10.29%

Quantitative Style Profile

SID has a Value-Oriented profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
