		<description><![CDATA[Brazilian steelmaker Gerdau S.A.&#8217;s (GGB) second quarter results were rather disappointing as the company&#8217;s EPS of $0.18 plummeted 38% year over year and lagged behind the Zacks Consensus by 14 cents. Results were plagued by higher raw material costs that have been persistently affecting the company&#8217;s financial health. To add to the peril, Gerdau&#8217;s positive momentum gets restricted by the headwinds arising from foreign currency fluctuation, cyclicality of the industry and stiff competition. Thus, we have downgraded our recommendation on the stock from Neutral to Underperform. Gerdau&#8217;s current trailing 12-month earnings multiple is 11.6X, compared with 27.4X for the peer group and 15.9X for the S&#38;P 500. Our $7.75 target price is based on 9.6X 2011 earnings per ADR. GERDAU SA ADR (GGB): Free Stock Analysis Report Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gerdau S.A. (GGB) is one of the leading low-cost steel producing companies. Despite this, there were negative sentiments for Gerdau as the company posted weak fourth quarter results, having been hurt primarily by higher raw material costs. Moreover, foreign currency fluctuation, cyclicality of the industry and stiff competition pose threats for the company. Anticipating a lack of positive catalysts in the quarters ahead, we downgrade Gerdau to an Underperform recommendation. Our $12.00 target price is based on 9.2X 2011 earnings per ADR. The stocks also carries a Zacks #5 Rank (Strong Sell). GERDAU SA ADR (GGB): Free Stock Analysis Report Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research Monday, December 22, 2009 Even though Vale (NYSE: VALE) decided to cut its iron ore production by about 10% during the global crisis, the iron ore-mining giant has found itself in hot water. Of course, other companies in Brazil and around the world did exactly the same thing. But they aren’t required to answer to Brazil’s government, which just happens to hold a significant stake in Vale through public sector pension funds and BNDES, the national development bank. And Vale made the mistake of not consulting with its major shareholder before it took action. That oversight led the government to not only question the company’s strategy, but also put pressure on it to boost its domestic steelmaking, instead of relying on foreign producers for the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, Gerdau S.A. (GGB) announced consolidated results for the third quarter of 2009. The company did not provide comparable year-on-year figures in a securities filing. Sales reached 3.9 million tons in the quarter, 15% higher than in the second quarter of 2009, reflecting the recovery in the main sectors that consume the company&#8217;s products. Net Revenue reached R$6.8 billion in the 3rd quarter of 2009, 6% higher than in the previous quarter. Third quarter EBITDA reached R$1.4 billion, more than double the amount in the 2nd quarter of 2009. The EBITDA margin increased to 20.2% in the 3rd quarter of 2009 from 9.3% in the 2nd quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month, Brazilian steelmaker Companhia Siderurgica Nacional, aka CSN (SID), posted disappointing operating results for the second quarter of 2009. Based on the turmoil in the financial markets, revenues, EBITDA and net income were down 30%, 57% and 68% respectively from the second quarter of 2008. Domestic market sales and volume were down 30% and 28% year over year. Export sales were down 32% year over year, while volume was up 21%. Crude steel production decreased 33% year-over-year. It seems that the short-term outlook for SID is not very encouraging. However, the company showed some improvement over the previous quarter. Steel product sales volume was up 47%, net revenue was 2% higher than the first quarter of 2009. EBITDA was up 7% and EBITDA margin showed an improvement of 1.1% ]]></description>
