    Written by Ethan Bernard

    Nucor expects higher earnings in the second quarter, both sequentially and year over year, and anticipates increased profits sequentially across all its operating segments. The steel mills segment is expected to see the biggest boost.

    The Charlotte, N.C.-based steelmaker guided Wednesday afternoon to earnings of $4.70 to $4.80 per diluted share for Q2’26, ending July 4. This excludes a non-cash benefit of ~$0.20 per diluted share.
