Largest Expense Items
Cost of products sold$8,363M+16% YoY
Higher scrap/metal input costs offset by a $130M reduction from cash refunds tied to prior periods' raw materials procurement costs
Marketing, administrative and other expenses$405M+33% YoY
Higher profit sharing and incentive compensation from increased profitability, partly offset by a $61M non-cash gain on the Helion investment
Interest expense, net$12M-37% YoY
Increase in capitalized interest and lower interest income on investments
Margins: Gross margin expanded to 20% in Q2 2026 from 14% in Q2 2025, driven primarily by higher steel mills metal margins and a $130M raw materials cost refund, partly offset by margin compression in steel products from higher steel input costs.
Watch Items from the Filing
Steel products segment earnings declined YoY as higher steel input costs outpaced volume and price gains, causing margin compression.
$130M reduction in steel mills cost of products sold from one-time cash refunds tied to prior periods' raw materials procurement costs boosted the quarter's margin.
$61M non-cash gain on the Helion (fusion energy) investment after a financing round contributed to raw materials segment and overall earnings.
Largest single customer represented only ~5% of sales in Q2 2026 and has consistently paid within terms, indicating low customer concentration risk.
Outlook calls for higher Q3 2026 earnings in steel mills and steel products on pricing/volume, but raw materials segment earnings are expected to decrease due to lower margins.
