BlueScope Steel shares have only slipped slightly after Australia's largest steelmaker flatly rejected a $13.2 billion takeover bid involving billionaire Kerry Stokes and a US partner.
BSL shares closed on Thursday down 1.6 per cent to $29.40, still well above the $20 to $25 trading range they spent nearly all of 2025, and only just under the $30-per-share price the Mr Stokes-controlled SGH and Steel Dynamics are offering.
