Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ: STLD) price target lowered from $18 to $15.

Analyst, David Gagliano, said, "Following Q1 results, we are lowering our estimates and lowering our target price to $15. We believe Steel Dynamics has some of the best longer-term EBITDA growth potential within the US steel sector due to the potential impact of a recovery in construction-related demand, company-specific cost savings initiatives, and the inherent leverage in STLD's business model."

FY12 lowered from $1.40 to $1.30 and FY13 from $1.79 to $1.65.
