<h3>The Meaning Behind Value Stocks</h3>
A value stock traditionally has a lower price when compared to stock prices of companies in the same industry. This indicates that the company may be undervalued, as investors are not expressing as much interest in such companies. The most commonly used way to check for value is with the price-to-earnings multiple, or P/E. A low P/E multiple is a good indication that the stock is undervalued. 
<h2>Below is a list of notable value stocks in the basic materials sector:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Commercial Metals (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMC#NYSE">CMC</a>) - P/E: 8.26</li>

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Gerdau (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GGB#NYSE">GGB</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Tuesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 9.62 cents per share. On Monday, Gerdau will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 9.62 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Monday. Shareholders who own GGB as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 9.62 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on December 20, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

Gerdau Earnings Preview

Vertically integrated metals and mining player United States Steel (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>), best known as US Steel, is set to report its Q3 earnings after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">market close on Oct. 26</a>.
US Steel is currently considering its strategic options, eyeing potential synergy benefits. The company has received a $7.1 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/09/34788208/cleveland-cliffs-and-u-s-steel-lock-horns-amid-tensions-in-sale-proceedings-report">cash-and-stock acquisition offer</a> from Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>).

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">US Steel Q3 Earnings: What Analysts Would Watch Closely</h2>
The company is the second largest U.S.-based steel producer, after Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), and is undergoing a rapid transformation, having invested into mini mills, EAFs (electric arc furnaces) and downstream capabilities. The EAFs produce less carbon dioxide and are thus expected to benefit from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation-reduction-act">Inflation Reduction Act</a> (IRA).
The IRA is the catalyst that could potentially boost EBITDA growth and free cash flow for the company. The Street knows that major capital investments such as these take time to translate into value, so analysts will be eager to get any hints of progress at these early stages.
X stock is trading at attractive valuations currently among competitors such as NUE, CLF, Reliance Steel &amp; Aluminum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RS#NYSE">RS</a>), Ternium (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TX#NYSE">TX</a>), Carpenter Tech (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRS#NYSE">CRS</a>), Vale (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VALE#NYSE">VALE</a>) and Ramaco Resources (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/METCB#NASDAQ">METCB</a>).
Earnings Estimates: Wall Street analysts expect X to report $1.15 in EPS for the quarter and $4.39 billion in revenue, per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings?tickers=X">earnings data</a> available on Benzinga Pro. Given US Steel's <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/X/earnings/eps-surprise-summary">history of beating</a> estimates, the Street expects X to record a beat on EPS and revenue this time as well.
Over the last eight quarters, X stock has delivered six positive EPS surprises and six positive revenue surprises.
Analysts project that US Steel will report $4.12 in EPS for the fiscal year ending December 2023. Revenue estimates for that period are currently expected to come in at $17.9 billion.
Analyst Ratings &amp; Price Targets: Wall Street analyst ratings (based on a pool of 120 analyst firms over the last 3 years) currently rate the stock Neutral. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/X/analyst-ratings">Consensus price target</a> stands at $27.02 a share.
Price Action: US Steel shares have been range bound between $31.50 and $33.50 over the past month, and closed at $32.40 on Wednesday. The 52-week range is a low of $18.92 and a high of $33.65.
