Forward Guidance
Nucor expects earnings in the fourth quarter of 2023 to decrease compared to the third quarter of 2023 due primarily to lower pricing across all three operating segments, and, to a lesser extent, decreased volumes.
Challenges Ahead
- Lower pricing across all three operating segments.
- Decreased volumes.
- Decrease in realized pricing to be most pronounced at sheet mills.
- Decreased earnings due to moderating average selling prices at most of the product groups within the steel products segment and lower volumes.
- Lower pricing for raw materials and planned outages at DRI facilities.
