What's Driving NUE's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

✓ 20/20 datapoints verified

AI-extracted from NUCOR CORP's 10-Q filed 2026-08-12 — Q2 FY2026 (quarter ended July 4, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Nucor's Q2 FY2026 revenue rose 23% YoY to $10.4B as net earnings more than doubled to $1.16B, driven by expanding steel mills metal margins on higher pricing and volumes.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Steel Mills$6,481M+23% YoY

Higher average selling prices, increased volumes and higher metal margins

Steel Products$3,105M+17% YoY

Increased volumes and modestly higher average selling prices

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $10.4B+23% YoY

Steel Mills$6,481M+23% YoY

Higher average selling prices, increased volumes and higher metal margins

Steel Products$3,105M+17% YoY

Increased volumes and modestly higher average selling prices

Raw Materials$811M+49% YoY

Increased average selling prices and shipments, and improved DRI facility profitability

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.
