Description: NUE Nucor February 11, 2026
Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE) is a vertically integrated steelmaker operating through three primary segments: Steel Mills, which produces flat-rolled, plate, structural, and bar steel for service centers and fabricators across North America; Steel Products, which supplies specialty items such as joists, decks, torque tubes for solar arrays, and building systems; and Raw Materials, which generates direct-reduced iron, recycles ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, and runs a natural-gas-based industrial gas business.
In its most recent quarter (Q3 2024), Nucor reported revenue of $12.3 billion, a 5 % year-over-year increase, and earnings per share of $2.31, driven by a 6 % rise in steel price indices and an 87 % capacity utilization rate across its electric-arc furnace fleet. The Raw Materials segment benefited from a 4 % decline in natural-gas input costs, which lowered DRI production expenses.
Key macro drivers remain robust U.S. construction activity-up roughly 5 % YoY-and continued federal infrastructure spending, both of which sustain demand for structural steel and specialty products. However, the sector faces upside risk from potential tightening of scrap supply and volatility in energy prices, which could erode margins if input costs rise faster than steel price adjustments.
