Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, manufactures and markets semi-finished and finished specialty steel products, including stainless steel, tool steel, and certain other alloyed steels primarily in the United States.

TheStreet Ratings rates Universal Stainless & Alloy as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. You can view the full Universal Stainless & Alloy Ratings Report.
