Shares of Ryerson Holdings (RYI) surged 5.27% on Monday, amid a bullish analyst action on the industrial metals distributor. The stock's rally came after BMO Capital raised its price target on RYI to $25 from $23, while maintaining a Market Perform rating.
According to BMO Capital analyst Katja Jancic, Ryerson delivered strong financial results and provided an optimistic outlook, prompting the firm to raise their price target. Jancic noted that the company's strategic shift towards higher-margin products and services is paying off, positioning it well for future growth.
