Worthington Steel Outlines $160M-$180M FY2027 Capital Expenditure Plan and Kloeckner Integration Progress
Worthington Steel (NYSE: WS) has outlined a capital expenditure range of $160 million to $180 million for fiscal year 2027 as part of its ongoing integration with Kloeckner Metals, which was acquired earlier in the quarter. CEO Geoffrey Gilmore highlighted that this marks a significant milestone for the company, noting it is reporting Kloeckner's results for the first time. The capital investment plan reflects Worthington Steel’s strategy to enhance production capabilities and operational efficiency following its acquisition of Kloeckner Metals. The integration progress will be further evaluated in October with an upcoming DPLTA (Domestic Production Limitation Treaty Agreement) vote, which could influence future operations and market positioning. The company's financial outlook underscores confidence in long-term growth potential through strategic investments and expanded manufacturing capacity.
