NUCOR CORP · 2026-10-26 · Importance 68 · Surprise 60 · In source text
Nucor expects fourth-quarter 2026 earnings to be generally in line with or modestly higher than third-quarter 2026. The Steel mills segment is expected to have stable earnings, as higher realized pricing is offset by seasonally lower volumes and higher costs; the Steel products segment is also expected to have stable earnings, with higher realized pricing offset by seasonally lower volumes. The Raw materials segment is expected to have slightly lower earnings due to lower realized DRI pricing, while intersegment profit eliminations are expected to decrease.
