BHMS was the final ticker symbol of Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Bethlehem Steel facilitated enduring value with its contributions to such U.S. icons as the Chrysler Building, Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam.
Ultimately, despite a leading market position, Bethlehem Steel was forced to file bankruptcy in large part due to a history of passive management that focused on the short-term and failed to adapt to an evolving U.S. and global economy.
Like Bethlehem Steel, BHMS aims to facilitate the creation of enduring value and the BHMS name serves as a reminder to never become complacent.
