Nippon Steel and United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) are reportedly negotiating with the Trump administration to revive their $14 billion merger by significantly boosting investments in U.S. Steel's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/03/44432858/us-steel-faces-q1-pressures-but-eyes-long-term-gains-from-br2-nippon-partnership"> Rust Belt facilities.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: According to <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/03/27/2025/us-steel-and-nippon-are-in-talks-to-revive-merger-that-trump-had-threaten-to-block">a report</a> from Semafor, sources familiar with the discussions said the Japanese steelmaker has proposed raising its initial $2.7 billion commitment to upgrade U.S. Steel plants to as much as $7 billion.&nbsp;

The deal was initially blocked by the Biden administration over national security concerns, and now hinges on strategic concessions. While President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43576917/trump-says-reconsiders-nippon-steels-149-billion-us-steel-deal-theyve-agreed-to-invest-heavilyas-opposed-to-own-it">previously opposed</a> the acquisition, he signaled openness in February to Nippon taking a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/03/44423382/billionaire-stanley-druckenmiller-boosts-us-steel-stake-by-143-is-he-betting-on-merger"> minority stake</a> or structuring the deal as an investment rather than a full buyout.&nbsp;
The revised terms would preserve the $55-per-share acquisition price and Nippon would begin making sizable capital investments into U.S. Steel as soon as possible, the sources said.&nbsp;
Legal and political hurdles remain. Both companies are involved in a lawsuit against the U.S. government, which recently sought deadline extensions to continue merger talks. The United Steelworkers union and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/01/43275376/who-is-alan-kestenbaum-activist-investor-ancoras-pick-to-lead-us-steel">activist investors </a>like Ancora have also voiced opposition and are lobbying the Trump administration for alternative plans.&nbsp;
X Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, shares of U.S. Steel climbed in early trading, but ended Friday's session 0.02% lower at $43.00 amid a broad market sell-off.

Spotlight on United States Steel: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Markets ended the week mixed, with the S&amp;P 500 and Dow slipping while the Nasdaq notched a slight gain, buoyed by strength in tech. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) extended its losing streak to a ninth consecutive week despite a broad market rebound earlier.
Investors digested a Federal Reserve decision to hold rates steady, alongside revised projections showing slower GDP growth and higher inflation for 2024. Fed Chair Jerome Powell downplayed the impact of potential tariffs as "transitory."
Meanwhile, jobless claims remained steady, and traders weighed the likelihood of rate cuts later this year amid stubborn inflation and economic uncertainty.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">X Stock: Golden Cross Fuels Bullish Momentum</h2>
X stock has decisively broken above its short- and long-term moving averages, reinforcing a bullish trend:
<ul>
<li>The stock trades at $41.06, well above its eight-day SMA (simple moving average) of $39.51, 20-day SMA of $38.42 and 50-day SMA of $37.56 &#8211; all flashing bullish signals.</li>
<li>Even its 200-day SMA of $37.40 is far behind, underscoring solid technical strength.</li>
</ul>
With this momentum, traders are watching whether X can break through resistance and extend gains.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan: Solid Foundation, But Merger Uncertainty Lingers</h2>
JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson remains Overweight on X stock, with a $43 price target. The firm's Q1 EBITDA guidance of $125 million was in line with estimates and stronger than mini-mill rivals like Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) and Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>).
However, challenges remain, including lagged pricing impacts, European demand weakness and start-up costs for its BRS2 expansion.
While the Nippon Steel Corp (OTCPK: NISTF) merger remains uncertain, Peterson sees US Steel's valuation supported above $40 per share, suggesting any regulatory setback could create a dip-buying opportunity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Billionaire Druckenmiller Bets Big On X Stock</h2>
Adding intrigue, hedge fund titan Stanley Druckenmiller has more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/03/44423382/billionaire-stanley-druckenmiller-boosts-us-steel-stake-by-143-is-he-betting-on-merger">doubled his stake</a> in US Steel, increasing his position by 143% last quarter. His bet comes as President Donald Trump hints at supporting the blocked Nippon deal—potentially reopening the door for a takeover.
With a Golden Cross, strong buying momentum, and a billionaire-backed vote of confidence, US Steel's next move could be explosive. Will the stock break out, or will regulatory uncertainty put a lid on the rally?

US Steel Stock Surges Forming Golden Cross, Does Billionaire Investment In X Signal More Upside?

United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) shares are trading lower premarket on Friday. On Thursday, the company guided for the first quarter of 2025 adjusted EPS loss of 53 cents &#8211; 49 cents vs. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44425492/united-states-steel-corporation-provides-first-quarter-2025-guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus loss of 30 cents</a>.
Also, the company expects adjusted EBITDA of about $125 million in the first quarter of 2025, in line with prior&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;outlook of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43353295" rel="noreferrer noopener">$100 million&nbsp;&#8211; $150 million.</a>
The company projects the Flat-Rolled segment&#8217;s adjusted EBITDA to be lower sequentially on typical seasonal logistics constraints in the mining sector, which is expected to unwind in the second quarter.
United States Steel expects higher average selling prices and higher volumes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">to partially offset this mining impact.</a>
Meanwhile, the company anticipates Mini Mill segment&#8217;s adjusted EBITDA to be higher Q/Q on higher shipments.
Apart from this, the European segment&#8217;s adjusted EBITDA is expected to improve Q/Q due to an increase in shipments, volume efficiencies, and favorable raw material pricing despite the challenging demand environment in Europe.
On the other hand, the company sees Tubular segment&#8217;s adjusted EBITDA to be higher Q/Q led by an increase in prime shipments and rise in average selling prices.
President and Chief Executive Officer David B. Burritt said, &#8221;BR2 is expected to make a significant contribution to our 2025 EBITDA, with run-rate throughput expected during the second half of 2025 and full run-rate capability in 2026.&#8221;
&#8220;We applaud President Trump&#8217;s leadership and advocacy for the American steel industry in his recent tariff announcements. We continue to assess the benefit we expect from these tariff policies.&#8221;
&#8221;Combined with the partnership with Nippon Steel, which includes investment commitments, technology transfer and innovation, U. S. Steel&#8217;s future is extremely bright.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLX#NYSE">SLX</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P Metals &amp; Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>).
Price Action: X shares are down 1.34% at $40.51 premarket at the last check Friday.

Guidance

US Steel Faces Q1 Pressures, But Eyes Long-Term Gains From BR2 & Nippon Partnership

First Quarter Adjusted EBITDA Commentary
The Flat-Rolled segment's adjusted EBITDA is expected to be lower than the fourth quarter primarily driven by typical seasonal logistics constraints in the mining sector, which will unwind in the second quarter. We anticipate that higher average selling prices and increased volumes will partially offset this mining impact.
The Mini Mill segment's adjusted EBITDA is expected to be higher than the fourth quarter due to an increase in shipments. For the first quarter, we expect approximately $50 million in ramp-related impact from BR2. These costs are included in our first quarter adjusted EBITDA guidance for the Mini Mill segment.
The European segment's adjusted EBITDA is expected to improve compared to the fourth quarter, largely due to an increase in shipments, volume efficiencies and favorable raw material pricing, yet the sector will continue to face pressures from a challenging demand environment in Europe.
The Tubular segment's adjusted EBITDA is expected to be higher than the fourth quarter due to an increase in prime shipments and higher average selling prices.

United States Steel Corp Sees Q1 2025 EPS $(0.53)-$(0.49) Vs $(0.30) Est; Sees Adj. EBITDA Of ~$125M

United States Steel Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>), a giant of American industry, fell into tough times in recent decades. As company management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43576917/trump-says-reconsiders-nippon-steels-149-billion-us-steel-deal-theyve-agreed-to-invest-heavilyas-opposed-to-own-it">explores merger opportunities</a>, hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller made a large bet on the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based company.
What Happened: Druckenmiller&#8217;s Duquesne Family Office&#8217;s latest 13f filing showed an increased stake in the steel giant.
The hedge fund manager owned 1,610,040 company shares as of Dec. 31, 2024, up from 663,090 in 2024&#8217;s third quarter. Thus, Druckenmiller increased his stake by 143% just a few months after initiating his position.
United States Steel has frequently been in the headlines in recent months. The company planned to be acquired for $15 billion by Japanese company Nippon Steel, but the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42870745/nippon-steel-ceo-slams-tariffs-defends-15-billion-us-steel-merger-amid-national-security-concerns-we-never-think-that-industry-can-become-stronger-through-tariffs-alone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden Administration blocked</a> the deal.
The odds of a deal between the two companies clearing regulators appeared low during much of 2024. Another bidder <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/01/43275376/who-is-alan-kestenbaum-activist-investor-ancoras-pick-to-lead-us-steel">challenged Nippon Steel</a> to acquire the company in January.
However, President Donald Trump has recently contemplated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43574248/trump-hints-at-rekindling-nippon-steels-14-billion-acquisition-of-united-steel-in-talks-with-japanese-pm-ishiba">supporting the deal</a> after meeting with Japanese officials. The Trump Administration recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44380592/trump-eyes-approval-of-controversial-steel-merger-nippon-and-us-steel-await-key-decision">granted the companies</a> a 21-day extension in their lawsuit over the proposed merger.
Druckenmiller, famously a top-down investor, could have invested in United States Steel due to possible Trump Administration tailwinds. The company&#8217;s stock has also benefitted from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer">Trump&#8217;s steel tariffs</a>. 
Shares of United States Steel are trading up over 25% in 2025, one of the top-performing stocks according to <a href="http://benzinga.com/pro">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of March 19, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

United States Steel's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.86% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 16.23 million shares sold short, which is 7.26% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.87 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>United States Steel Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742318121_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for United States Steel has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing United States Steel's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, United States Steel's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.38%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Is United States Steel Gaining or Losing Market Support?

The Trump administration granted Nippon Steel and United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) a 21-day extension in their lawsuit over the proposed merger, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43576917/trump-says-reconsiders-nippon-steels-149-billion-us-steel-deal-theyve-agreed-to-invest-heavilyas-opposed-to-own-it" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">allowing further negotiations with regulators.</a>

Additionally, the oral argument, initially set for April 24, has been rescheduled to May 12.
The move indicates that President Donald Trump may approve the deal, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/17/business/us-steel-nippon-trump-cfius/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports </a>CNN.

The remarks were made in the presence of Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba at the Oval Office.
The latest extension aims to facilitate continued discussions between the companies and the government in an attempt to resolve the situation without proceeding to a full legal resolution.
In December 2023, Nippon Steel agreed to purchase U.S. Steel, but ended up in a legal dispute with the Biden administration last year over the stalled acquisition.
In early January, CEO&nbsp;Eiji Hashimoto&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42870745/nippon-steel-ceo-slams-tariffs-defends-15-billion-us-steel-merger-amid-national-security-concerns-we-never-think-that-industry-can-become-stronger-through-tariffs-alone" rel="noreferrer noopener">dismissed tariffs as an inadequate solution</a>&nbsp;for bolstering the U.S. steel industry. He defended the merger, asserting that it would strengthen national security by creating a more resilient and competitive company.
In response, Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel filed a lawsuit in January, claiming the decision was influenced by President Biden&#8217;s desire to gain favor with the United Steelworkers union in Pennsylvania.
