    SMU Community Chat: Worthington Steel President and CEO Geoff Gilmore

    Written by Michael Cowden

    Worthington Steel President and CEO Geoff Gilmore will be the featured speaker on the next SMU Community Chat on Wednesday, March 6, at 11 am ET.

    The live webinar is free for anyone to attend. A recording is available only to SMU subscribers. You can register here.

    We’ll talk about how the first few months of operating Worthington Steel as a standalone company have gone. We’ll also discuss the current steel market and the outlook for the key end markets the company serves. And we’ll take your questions too, so think of some good ones and bring them to the Q&A on Wednesday!

    PS – Check out our Community Chat page, if you’d like to see recordings of past webinars, including a popular chat in early February with Timna Tanners, managing director of equity research at Wolfe Research.
