Earnings Call Q1 2026

April 28, 2026 - AI Summary

Strong First Quarter Performance: Nucor reported a robust EBITDA of approximately $1.5 billion and earnings of $3.23 per share, a notable increase compared to the previous quarter driven by record steel mill shipments of 7 million tons, representing the highest quarterly shipment volume in the company's history.
Growth Outlook for 2026: The company expects overall shipment growth of more than 5% in 2026 following a 6% growth in 2025. Factors supporting this growth include a stable demand environment, particularly in sectors like data centers and energy, along with a healthier domestic steel market due to reduced imports.
New Sheet Mill Contribution: The new sheet mill in West Virginia has reached 85% construction completion, with commissioning of operations expected to begin throughout 2026. By the end of 2027, the mill is expected to reach around 50% of capacity utilization, positioning Nucor to capture additional market share in the Midwest and Northeast.
