Nucor delivered record quarterly steel mill shipments of 7 million tons and EPS of $3.23, up 382% year-over-year, generating approximately $1.5 billion in EBITDA. Backlog growth signaled sustained demand momentum, and trade policy continued reducing import competition. The West Virginia sheet mill approached commissioning. Management raised the shipment growth outlook to more than 5% for 2026, and data center and infrastructure demand drove broad-based strength across the portfolio.

“With Nucor’s entry there, the plate market is well served.”
Steel Dynamics notes Nucor's entry into steel plate means that market is already well served, so STLD is not pursuing plate.
“You're seeing similar results in Louisiana with Hyundai building their sheet mill there.”
Nucor points to Hyundai building a new sheet mill in Louisiana as another example of new foreign-owned domestic steel capacity.
“We've seen Nippon Steel come in and buy the U.S. steel assets, and that company no longer exists, right? It's now owned and operated by a Japanese company.”
Nucor cites Nippon Steel's acquisition of U.S. Steel as evidence of foreign capital entering U.S. steelmaking amid strong domestic market conditions.
“You saw us invest in Helion that we're incredibly excited about.”
Nucor has invested in fusion company Helion, reinforcing its behind-the-meter clean-power strategy.
“we've taken small positions, but financial positions in things like NuScale Power, which is the small module reactor technology because we need all the power that we can get”
Nucor holds a financial investment in NuScale Power's small modular reactor technology as part of securing long-term low-carbon power for steelmaking.
