Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Schnitzer Steel (NASDAQ: SCHN), PT $80.

Canaccord analyst, Eric Prouty, said, "Solid May quarter results reflected significantly higher scrap volumes, growth in auto parts, and a return to operating profitability within the steel manufacturing segment. We conclude the company’s investments in acquisitions and advanced separation technology have the potential to drive both volumes and margins, which we believe will become more readily apparent when the domestic economy experiences a more meaningful recovery. We slightly lower our F2012 EPS estimates, but increase our F2013 forecast."
