Earnings Summary
In the most recent quarter, Q3 2026, Reliance reported revenue of $5.213 billion, up 42.8 % YoY, and adjusted earnings of $8.02 per share, a 120.3 % increase YoY and 18.6 % above consensus. The company’s EPS beat estimates in three of the last four quarters, with Q2 2026 EPS of $6.27 surpassing the $5.47 estimate and Q3 2026 EPS of $8.02 exceeding the $6.86 forecast. Revenue growth accelerated from Q2 to Q3, driven by higher steel pricing and record shipment volumes, while the company maintained strong pricing power with a 29.5 % rise in average selling prices. Historically, Reliance has shown a consistent upward trajectory in both revenue and EPS, with revenue growth persisting even when EPS misses have occurred, indicating resilience in its core operations. Recent news highlights the company’s contribution to the U.S. border wall project and its robust market positioning, reinforcing investor confidence. The announced quarterly cash dividend of $1.25 per share also signals management’s commitment to shareholder returns, which may influence future capital allocation decisions.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into RS?

RICH

At today's price, Reliance, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 10.7% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 7.75% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at -1.8% a year, so the market is asking for 12.5 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis RS looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

Realized volatility (21d)
21.4% 32nd pct
Below its peak
-1.4%
vs 200-day average
+19.3%
Up days (1y)
55%

Reliance, Inc. is currently running 21.4% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against RS's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 32nd percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 24.7%.

RS is trading -1.4% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -21.8%, and the deepest was -41.2% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +19.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 86th percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year RS closed higher on 55% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On November specifically: over 13 years of records, RS finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +0.3% and an average of +2.7%. Its strongest month historically has been February at +5.5% on average, its weakest September at -1.9%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: RS has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 148 of 3,268 sessions (4.5% of the time), with the largest gaps running +9.6% and -9.2%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against RS's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
