For the company’s fiscal third quarter, analysts are expecting revenue of $2.25 billion, which would be up 11.8% sequentially and 21.6% higher year over year. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) are forecast at $1.63, up 6.8% sequentially and 56.7% year over year. For the full 2022 fiscal year ending in August, CMC is forecast to report EPS of $6.42, up 82%, on sales of $8.47 billion, up 25.8%.

Shares trade at 5.7 times expected 2022 EPS, 7.7 times estimated 2023 earnings of $4.78 and 8.0 times estimated 2024 earnings of $4.62 per share. The stock’s 52-week range is $28.77 to $46.68.
