Nucor reported a Q3 2024 consolidated revenue of $7.444 billion with EBITDA of $863.7 million and GAAP net income of $250 million, or $1.05 per share. Excluding onetime pretax charges totaling $123 million ($0.44 per share), adjusted earnings were $1.49 per share. Through September, year-to-date adjusted earnings reached approximately $1.80 billion ($7.66 per share). The quarter featured a meaningful margin mix shift, with the Steel Products segment contributing meaningfully to pretax earnings (approx. 42% of Nucor’s pretax earnings over the last 12 months, nearly 3x historical average), while the Steel Mills segment faced lower realized pricing and a decline in volumes, pressuring margins. Brandenburg’s ramp-up continued to show progress; management characterized Brandenburg as integral to expanding plate capabilities and highlighted records in September across multiple operations, signaling the potential for higher-margin, domestically produced plate volumes. Management emphasized the Expand Beyond strategy (insulated metal panels, racking, overhead doors) as a stabilizing earnings contributor with approximately $380 million of EBITDA over the past 12 months. Looking ahead, management signaled a cautious near-term cadence: fourth-quarter EBITDA could be meaningfully lower than Q3 due to weaker steel mills pricing and seasonally lower volumes, while raw materials earnings were expected to be modestly higher. Full-year 2024 CapEx is now guided around $3.2 billion, with two-thirds directed to growth, implying a continued capital-intensive expansion trajectory into 2025 and beyond. Net cash ended Q3 around $4.9 billion, with total debt of about $6.94 billion and leverage near 1.4x trailing-twelve-month EBITDA. The company reiterates its long-term, through-cycle focus, including ongoing capacity additions (Kingman melt shop, Lexington rebar mill, Indiana galvanizing/coating complex, West Virginia sheet mill, and a planned automotive galv line). The stock remains positioned to benefit from a diversified portfolio, downstream integration, and secular demand drivers, but faces near-term margin headwinds from imports and tighter pricing in several steel end-markets.
