Ferroglobe (GSM) Moves 11.0% Higher: Will This Strength Last?

Ferroglobe (GSM) shares soared 11% in the last trading session to close at $5.04. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session.

Silicon metal, essential in aluminum, silicones, solar panels and semiconductors, is critical to both national security and clean energy supply chains. U.S. producers have hailed the decisions as key to restoring fair competition and protecting the domestic industry.On Sept. 23, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed preliminary countervailing duties on subsidized silicon metal imports from Australia (41.31%), Laos (240%), Norway (16.87%), and Thailand (31.27%), which came in effect on Sept. 26. It followed with antidumping duties on imports from Angola (68.45%) and Laos (94.44%), effective Sept. 30.Further rulings are expected later this year, with preliminary antidumping decisions for Australia and Norway due on Nov. 21, and final determinations for Angola, Laos and Thailand on Dec. 11. These mark significant progress toward ensuring a fair and competitive U.S. silicon metal market.This producer of silicon metal and silicon-based alloys is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -54.6%. Revenues are expected to be $393.75 million, down 9.2% from the year-ago quarter.While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.For Ferroglobe, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
