Forward Guidance
Steel Dynamics is in a position of strength as we enter 2023. We are ramping up operations at our new state-of-the-art electric arc furnace flat rolled steel mill located in Texas. We believe North American steel consumption will increase in 2023, and that demand for lower-carbon emission, U.S. produced steel products coupled with lower imports will support steel pricing.
Positive Outlook
- Customer order entry activity continues to be healthy across our businesses.
- Steel pricing has firmed, and our order activity and backlogs remain solid.
- North American steel consumption will increase in 2023.
- Demand for lower-carbon emission, U.S. produced steel products coupled with lower imports will support steel pricing.
- Steel fabrication operation’s order backlog also remains historically strong based on volume and forward pricing levels reaching past the first half of 2023.
