Aegis Value Fund Scott Barbee | “The position with the most negative impact on performance was Algoma Steel, costing the Fund 2.66 percentage points. The company entered 2025 in the unfortunate position of having just incurred a substantial debt position to transition its steel making process from blast furnace steelmaking to electric arc furnace “EAF” steelmaking, a needed investment that should significantly increase operating flexibility in the years ahead. ... The sudden imposition of significant US tariffs on Canadian steel substantially disrupted Algoma's business, causing damaging cash burn as steel prices collapsed on the Canadian side of the border amid a flood of foreign steel into Canada. ... With management hopeful to get the company close to breakeven EBITDA by mid-year 2026, we suspect the worst impact is over, and currently intend to hold our Algoma Steel position pending a recovery. BSD Analysis: Algoma is a cyclical steel producer trying to reinvent itself through electric arc furnace conversion. Commodity exposure makes earnings swing hard with pricing cycles. The EAF transition promises cost savings and carbon reduction, but execution risk is real. Balance-sheet management matters more than expansion headlines. Domestic demand and trade policy influence margins heavily. This is not a premium steel franchise. It's a transformation story in a brutal industry. Algoma works only if modernization outpaces volatility.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Feb 17, 2026 | View Pitch |
