AI Brief

Q2 FY26 earnings call · Jul 28, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Nucor reported Q2 2026 EPS of $5.04 ($4.84 adjusted) on $2.02B EBITDA and record 7.1M-ton steel mill shipments, raised its 2026 mill shipment-growth outlook to the high end of 5-10%, and guided to higher Q3 consolidated earnings led by steel mills and steel products with stable volumes and higher pricing.

Bullish
  • + Q2 EPS of $5.04 beat guidance midpoint by $0.29 on record 7.1M-ton steel mill shipments and $2.02B EBITDA.
  • + Raised 2026 steel mill shipment-growth outlook to the high end of the prior 5-10% range.
Bearish
  • − Q3 steel mills results will not benefit from further raw material refunds that added $130M to Q2 steel mill earnings.
  • − Q3 raw materials segment guided to lower earnings on lower scrap pricing and elevated iron ore/pellet costs from idled Middle East capacity.
