Winston Score History

The full picture

Ternium is a steel company that makes flat and long steel products used in construction, cars, appliances, and industrial equipment. Its main customers are manufacturers and builders across Latin America, and it sells products like steel sheets, beams, and pipes. Ternium is one of the largest steel producers in Latin America, with major operations in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia.

The company makes money by selling steel directly to industrial customers and through its own network of service centers that cut and process steel to order. Mexico is its most important market, accounting for the majority of its revenue. Ternium's competitive edge comes from its vertically integrated operations, which include iron ore mining and steelmaking, helping it control costs better than pure steel processors. Its biggest risk is exposure to volatile steel prices and raw material costs, which can quickly squeeze margins when global commodity markets shift.
