Morgan Stanley raised the firm’s price target on Steel Dynamics (STLD) to $145 from $140 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares after updating the firm’s steel price estimates on the back of President Trump doubling the existing tariff to 50%. Domestic mills will benefit from higher prices in the near-term, but soft underlying demand and potential trade deals with allies will cap pricing and may result in a downward trend by year-end, the analyst tells investors in a note on the North American steel producer group.
