Concorde Capital: Azovstal (AZST: SELL) successfully competes on foreign markets: almost all incremental output is exported. The company also raised sales by 1-2% on the domestic market owing to increased purchases by Ukrzaliznytsia. Dniprospetsstal slowed down its growth rate more than two times compared to 1Q05, following lower demand.
