Jefferies initiates coverage on Ryerson Holding (NYSE: RYI) with a Buy rating and a price target of $20.00.

Analyst Luke Folta comments, "RYI is a leading metals distributor with a strong platform, scale and product/market diversification. RYI has been undergoing a transformation which should continue to drive relative margin/earnings outperformance as the cycle recovers. At an 8% FCF yield, we see valuations attractive and note RYI’s high equity leverage as its large discount to peers narrows. We initiate coverage with a BUY rating and $20PT."

NOTE: Jefferies acted as joint bookrunner in the IPO.
