Posted on | by Leon Hinde

ASX:BL is under Algo Engine buy conditions. BSL provided a trading update and now expects EBIT for 2H FY22 to be $1.375-1.475bn.

The more robust outlook is driven by improved earnings expectations for North America with better-than-expected realised steel prices and spreads in the United States.

Based on FY23 earnings we have Bluescope on a 2.3% forward dividend yield.
