EAF Stock Forecast & Price Target
EAF Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
GrafTech International is poised for a positive financial outlook, driven by expected sales volume growth of over 10% in FY25 due to increasing needle coke demand, higher steel production, and a global shift towards electric arc furnace (EAF) technology. The company is strategically focusing on rebalancing its order book towards higher-margin customers and improving production costs, having successfully reduced costs per ton by over 20% in 2024 with additional reductions targeted for 2025. With a favorable pricing environment anticipated amidst a tightening needle coke market, GrafTech is well-positioned to benefit from improved commercial efforts and cost efficiencies, supporting its growth trajectory in the evolving steel manufacturing landscape.
Bears say
GrafTech International Ltd has experienced a notable decline in average long-term agreement (LTA) pricing, which was reported at $7,700/MT in Q4, consistent with Q3 figures but significantly down from $8,763/MT in fiscal year 2023. The company's outlook is further complicated by anticipated negative EBITDA figures for the first half of 2025, stemming from expected production curtailments among electric arc furnace (EAF) and other electrode producers aimed at reducing surplus inventory. Additionally, the pricing environment remains unfavorable, with spot prices continuing to drop and average realized electrode prices reflecting a substantial decrease from approximately $9,600/ton in 2018 to less than $5,000/ton recently.
