Greenwave Technology Solutions (Nasdaq: GWAV), a metal recycling operator in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio, anticipates that U.S. tariffs on steel imports will drive revenue growth and margin expansion in FY 2025. The company bases this expectation on its 20+ years of industry experience, noting significant benefits to U.S. scrap metal recyclers during the previous Trump administration when tariffs increased domestic recycled metal prices. Greenwave supplies mill-ready shred to major companies including Nucor , Cleveland-Cliffs, and Sims subsidiaries, sourcing from hundreds of corporations, municipalities, and individuals across their operating regions.

Greenwave Technology Solutions (Nasdaq: GWAV), un operatore di riciclo di metalli in Virginia, Carolina del Nord e Ohio, prevede che le tariffe statunitensi sulle importazioni di acciaio guideranno la crescita dei ricavi e l'espansione dei margini nell'anno fiscale 2025. L'azienda fonda questa aspettativa sulla sua esperienza di oltre 20 anni nel settore, sottolineando i vantaggi significativi per i riciclatori di metalli ferrosi negli Stati Uniti durante la precedente amministrazione Trump, quando le tariffe aumentarono i prezzi dei metalli riciclati domestici. Greenwave fornisce frammenti pronti per la lavorazione a grandi aziende tra cui Nucor, Cleveland-Cliffs e sussidiarie Sims, approvvigionandosi da centinaia di aziende, municipalità e privati nelle loro regioni operative.

La empresa basa esta expectativa en sus más de 20 años de experiencia en la industria, señalando los beneficios significativos para los recicladores de chatarra en EE.UU. durante la anterior administración de Trump, cuando los aranceles aumentaron los precios de los metales reciclados nacionales. Greenwave suministra chatarra lista para el molino a grandes empresas, incluyendo Nucor, Cleveland-Cliffs y subsidiarias de Sims, obteniendo materiales de cientos de corporaciones, municipios y particulares en sus regiones operativas.

L'entreprise fonde cette attente sur ses plus de 20 ans d'expérience dans le secteur, notant les avantages significatifs pour les recycleurs de métaux usés aux États-Unis durant l'ancienne administration Trump, lorsque les droits de douane ont augmenté les prix des métaux recyclés sur le marché intérieur.

Positive
  • Expected revenue growth and margin expansion in FY 2025 due to anticipated steel import tariffs
  • Established supplier relationships with major steel producers
  • Strategic presence in multiple states with diverse supply channels
Negative
  • Revenue growth dependent on potential future political policies
  • Business model vulnerable to steel tariff policy changes

Insights

This speculative outlook on potential tariffs under a future Trump presidency carries significant uncertainty. While historical data from 2017-2021 showed positive impacts on domestic steel prices from tariffs, the current market dynamics are different. Greenwave's relatively small market cap of $7M and regional presence in the mid-Atlantic means it could benefit from any policy changes that favor domestic suppliers, but execution risks remain high.

The mention of Sims 's $220M acquisition of Baltimore Steel highlights industry consolidation trends and validates the strategic value of regional scrap metal operators. However, Greenwave's current scale and financial position may limit its ability to fully capitalize on potential market opportunities. The company's established relationships with major steel producers like Nucor and Cleveland-Cliffs provide some competitive advantages, but investors should carefully consider the speculative nature of policy-dependent growth projections.

Greenwave's customers include subsidiaries of Nucor Corporation, Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc., Sims Limited, and Georgia-Pacific

The Company is one of primary domestic suppliers of mill-ready shred in the mid-Atlantic region

CHESAPEAKE, Va., Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. ("Greenwave" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: GWAV), an operator of metal recycling facilities in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio, announced today that based on its 20+ years of operating history in the U.S. scrap metal industry – including Chief Executive Officer Danny Meeks' firsthand experience from President-elect Trump's first term – that it expects tariffs on U.S. steel imports will drive the Company's revenue growth and margin expansion throughout fiscal year 2025.

During President-elect Trump's first term, U.S. scrap metal recyclers benefited significantly from the administration's trade policies – tariffs materially increased the cost of imported steel, leading to significant increases in the prices of domestic recycled metals. As Sims Limited's recent $220 million acquisition of Baltimore Steel(1) demonstrated, industry leaders place significant value in scrap metal operators with proprietary supply channels, seasoned leadership, and established operations.

Greenwave provides subsidiaries of Nucor Corporation, Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc., Sims Limited, Georgia-Pacific, amongst several other steel producers, with a reliable supply of mill-ready shred, sourced from hundreds of corporations, municipalities, and individuals in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio.
