The company operates 37 facilities across seven states and 10 countries, employing approximately 6,000 people. With annual revenues of $3.17 billion and a return on equity of 11%, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued, presenting a potential opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the steel sector.

In other recent news, Worthington Steel has made significant strides in expanding its operations and financial activities. The company completed the acquisition of a majority equity stake in the Sitem Group, a European manufacturer of electric motor laminations.
