Nucor Corporation is set for durable growth as U.S. steel demand strengthens and imports decline, supporting higher prices and volumes. New production capacity from facilities in West Virginia and Utah will drive volume growth, though start-up costs will continue through fiscal year 2027 before normalizing. Nucor's strong balance sheet and low net leverage provide flexibility for expansion and acquisitions. The company benefits from Section 232 tariffs and infrastructure demand, underpinning a bullish outlook with a strong buy rating and a $306 price target.
