Nucor expects Q3 earnings of $5.55-$5.65 per share, up from Q2, driven by steel mills and products segments.

Nucor Corporation projects third quarter 2026 earnings between $5.55 and $5.65 per diluted share, up from $5.04 in the second quarter. The increase is attributed to higher steel mill prices and stable volumes, along with stronger steel product sales, despite a decline in raw materials earnings. The company has repurchased 2.03 million shares in Q3 and returned $1.36 billion to shareholders year-to-date. Nucor will release Q3 results on October 26, 2026, followed by a conference call on October 27.
