Nucor set to soon bring plenty of new capacity online

While keeping an eye on M&A opportunities, Nucor Corp. remains focused on executing its existing capital projects and organic growth initiatives, with plans to bring plenty of new capacity online across its flat rolled, longs and tower segments.

The Charlotte, N.C.-based company has committed significant capital to projects like the new sheet mill in West Virginia, new galvanizing lines, new rebar mills, and tower manufacturing plants. On an earnings call on Tuesday, executives provided updates on various investments across the business. The projects collectively represent ~65% of Nucor’s capital expenditures budget for this year.
