On September 26, Nippon Steel's president affirmed the company's commitment to completing the United States Steel (X US) acquisition by year-end, despite the CFIUS review being extended until December.
U.S. Steel, with an expected value of $45.19/share offers 27% upside potential. This discount, driven by acquisition/fundamental value, supports a buy recommendation thus, I would be long U.S. Steel.
If the deal were to succeed, the likelihood of it closing before the end of 2024 is low, primarily due to the complexities surrounding the American presidential elections.
