Gerdau S.A. (NYSE:GGB ) Q4 2024 Earnings Conference Call February 20, 2025 10:00 AM ET Company Participants Mariana Dutra - Head, IR Gustavo Werneck - CEO Rafael Japur - CFO Conference Call Participants Marcio Farid - Goldman Sachs Rafael Barcellos - Bradesco BBI Daniel Sasson - Itau BBA Leonardo Correa - BTG Pactual Ricardo Monegaglia - Safra Bank Yuri Pereira - Santander Eugenia Cavalheiro - Morgan Stanley Mariana Dutra Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our Earnings Release for the Fourth Quarter 2024 of Gerdau.
Gerdau S.A. is rated as a Hold due to mixed market conditions and competitive pressures from imported steel products. GGB's financial outlook is stable but not exceptional, with profitability sensitive to scrap metal prices and cyclical industry factors. GGB's valuation does not present a compelling Buy case, with current market prices offering an insufficient margin of safety.
Gerdau faces challenges from oversupply, geopolitical conflicts, and import pressures, especially in Brazil, impacting its short-to-medium term outlook. Despite these challenges, Gerdau's fundamentals are strong with low leverage, stable dividends, and positive credit ratings, making it a fundamentally safe investment. The company's cost discipline and asset optimization efforts are yielding positive results, with improved utilization rates and promising growth in non-residential construction sectors.
When stocks move exponentially, there are typically two major forces at play behind the move. One of them is momentum, but that can only be made possible through enough volume pressure to get the stock to move in the first place.

Gerdau S.A. is significantly undervalued, benefiting from the automotive industry growth, electric vehicle development, and electrical transmission renovation globally. The company has a strong financial position, with increasing tangible book value per share, positive net income, and long-term free cash flow growth. GGB's strategic asset sales and resource reallocation enhance its financials, while currency advantages from the Brazilian real's decline further improve profitability.
