Citi downgraded US Steel (NYSE: X) from Buy to Neutral with a price target of $37.00 (from $21.00).

Analyst Alexander Hacking comments "We are downgrading US Steel to Neutral from Buy. We see risk-reward on X equally balanced at current levels with upside from a recovery in the energy sector but downside if steel prices roll-over. The company will announce 2017 EBITDA guidance based on spot HRC prices when they release 1Q results February 1st. Given current HRC list prices are as high as $640/ton spot guidance could set a high bar for the year and limit further upside in shares from there, especially if steel prices decline in 2H17 as we expect."
