As of Oct. 7, 2025, two stocks in the materials could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.

Ferroglobe (GSM) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.

Ferroglobe PLC (GSM) stands to benefit from protectionist trade policies in the U.S. and EU, which are not yet reflected in its stock price. GSM's integrated operations and regional footprint position it to capitalize on tariffs, antidumping duties, and potential EU safeguard measures supporting domestic producers. The upcoming EU safeguard decision on November 19 is a key catalyst, with likely outcomes ranging from moderate to highly bullish for GSM's profitability.

LONDON, July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ferroglobe PLC (NASDAQ: GSM) announced today that it will issue second quarter 2025 financial results after the market closes on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, and will host the quarterly earnings call on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

Ferroglobe's Q1 2025 results were weak, but I see this as a cyclical trough, with management guiding for strong EBITDA recovery in 2025. Recent US/EU trade protections should curb unfair imports, stabilize prices, and position the company to benefit from a rebound in base metals demand. The company's strong balance sheet, low leverage, and solid liquidity provide a margin of safety and support ongoing dividends and buybacks.

Ferroglobe (GSM) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.20 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.12. This compares to break-even earnings per share a year ago.
