Analyst projections of the future price of Nucor stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Third-quarter net earnings rose to $1.32 billion from $607 million a year earlier, as higher prices and volumes lifted earnings in the steel mills and steel products segments. Nucor is converting strong current trading into much higher profits. (Nucor)
Nucor expects 2026 steel-mill shipments to finish near the high end of its 5% to 10% growth range, and management sees stronger demand in 2027. Recent project start-ups and the West Virginia mill ramp could add capacity to serve that demand. (Investing.com, Nucor)
Nucor generated nearly $2.7 billion of free cash flow in the first nine months and returned nearly $1.4 billion to shareholders, while ending the quarter with $3.64 billion in cash and short-term investments. This supports investment in growth while funding shareholder distributions. (Nucor)
Nucor expects fourth-quarter earnings to be in line with or only modestly above the third quarter; seasonally lower volumes and higher costs are expected to offset better mill pricing. That points to limited near-term earnings growth. (Nucor)
Raw-materials earnings fell to $105 million in the third quarter from $146 million in the second, as prices and shipments weakened; Nucor also expects slightly lower realised DRI pricing in the fourth quarter. This segment could continue to detract from results. (Nucor)
Pre-operating and start-up costs were $124 million in the third quarter, and management expects them to remain elevated through 2027 as the West Virginia mill ramps up. The new capacity may weigh on earnings before it contributes fully. (Nucor, Investing.com)
