WS Worthington Steel (WS) Q4 FY26 earnings call
A quarter of two stories: steady legacy execution in a mixed, rate-sensitive steel market — automotive share gains offsetting soft construction and heavy truck — overshadowed by transformative M&A, with the Klockner close just after year-end and an electrical steel impairment resetting near-term expectations. Focus now pivots to DPLTA approval, integration, synergy capture and deleveraging, with recovering galvanized spreads an emerging tailwind.
