The Sturm Ruger Firearms segment manufactures and sells rifles, pistols and revolvers principally to a number of federally licensed, independent wholesale distributors primarily located in the United States. The Castings segment manufactures and sells steel investment castings and metal injection molding parts. The company was founded by William B. Ruger in 1949 and is headquartered in Southport, Connecticut.

While the dividend can vary because the payout is based on earnings, given the company’s strong upside, it is worth taking despite some slowing demand.

Sturm Ruger stock investors receive a 5.21% dividend. The $98 Lake Street Capital price target is well above the $84.00 consensus target. Friday’s closing print was $64.51.

Suncoke Energy

The off-the-radar energy play is a good way to play the steel infrastructure angle. Suncoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) operates as an independent producer of coke in the Americas and Brazil.

The company offers metallurgical and thermal coal. The company also provides handling and/or mixing services to steel, coke, electric utility, coal producing, and other manufacturing-based customers. In addition, it owns and operates five cokemaking facilities in the United States and one in Brazil.

Recently reported quarterly earnings easily exceeded the consensus forecast and compare with a net loss a year ago. The huge positive surprise followed an even larger one in the prior quarter.

Investors receive a 3.83% dividend. B. Riley Securities has set a $10 price target on Suncoke Energy stock. The consensus target is $9.50, and Friday’s final trade was reported at $6.30 a share.
