Nucor cited decreased volumes and prices in its steel mills segment as the key driver of its lower guidance for the fourth quarter.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based steelmaker anticipates Q4’24 earnings to be in the range of $0.55 to $0.65 per diluted share. This compares with $1.05 in Q3’24 and $3.16 in the same period last year.
Steel products, raw materials segments
“We expect earnings in the steel products segment to decrease in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to decreased volumes and lower average selling prices,” Nucor said in a statement on Tuesday.
At the same time, Nucor said the earnings of the raw materials segment are expected to increase in Q4’24 vs. Q3’24. (This excludes an impairment charge taken during Q3’24.)
Nucor is set to release its earnings after the markets close on Monday, Jan. 27.
