On CAPS, 98% of the 975 members who have rated POSCO believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include PETPOE and All-Star goalie37, who is ranked in the top 15% of our community.

Earlier this year, PETPOE nicely summed up the POSCO bull case: 

One of the best-run steel companies in the world. Located in economic growth area (South Korea). Stock price volatile because of political tensions on peninsula. Dips offer good entry for investors. Should thrive when steel market gets stronger.

Currently, POSCO even boasts a solid debt-to-equity ratio of 0.16. That's lower than that of other steel giants ArcelorMittal (0.3), U.S. Steel (0.9), and Nucor (0.60).

CAPS member goalie37 expands on POSCO as a particularly timely pick:

PKX is a stock I found several years ago. ... Since they had moved to what I considered nose-bleed valuation, they fell off my radar. Fast forward to Spring 2011. Seeing the scope of the disaster in Japan, it seemed to me that rebuilding will require a massive amount of steel. This will make a strong commodity even stronger. I decided to take another look at Posco, and found the stock has returned to a much more logical valuation. I'm giving this an outperform on CAPS, and will be buying with real life money in the near future.
