Charlotte, N.C.-based <a href="https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/NUE">Nucor</a> said Tuesday that lower demand for steel in a weakening manufacturing sector and falling sales of its steel construction materials would result in about an 80% decline in third-quarter profit, including one-time charges, from the same quarter last year. Indiana-based <a href="https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/STLD">Steel Dynamics</a> late Monday forecast lower quarterly profit as well, describing earnings from its steel business as being "meaningfully lower" from the prior quarter because of weak demand and lower steel prices.

'U.S. Steelmakers Warn Of Lower Profits As Manufacturers Slow Factories; Nucor And Steel Dynamics Forecast Drop In Third-Quarter Earnings, Citing Weaker Demand And Shaky Prices' - WSJ

Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stld#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) has issued earnings guidance for the third quarter of 2024 in the $1.94-$1.98 per share range. This represents a decline from the company&#39;s second-quarter 2024 earnings of $2.72 per share and its third-quarter 2023 earnings of $3.47.
STLD&#39;s steel operations profitability is expected to be significantly lower than&nbsp; the second quarter due to reduced average realized pricing in the flat rolled operations. Approximately 80% of this business is contract-based, linked to lagging pricing indices. However, flat rolled steel prices have stabilized and are showing improvement, with underlying demand remaining consistent.
The metals recycling division&#39;s earnings for the third quarter of 2024 are anticipated to be in line with second-quarter results, as steady volumes offset the impact of slightly lower realized pricing.

<h3>Steel Dynamics, Inc. Price and Consensus</h3>

Steel Dynamics, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Steel Dynamics, Inc. Quote
In the steel fabrication segment, earnings are forecasted to be moderately lower than the previous quarter due to a slight dip in average realized pricing. However, the order backlog remains steady and extends into the first quarter of 2025, with pricing at attractive levels. Current order activity is stable and demand is expected to grow in 2025, fueled by an expected decline in interest rates, the U.S. infrastructure program and increasing onshoring efforts. This growth is likely to benefit not only steel joist and deck products but also flat rolled and long product steels.

Demonstrating continued confidence in the company&#39;s earnings outlook and cash flow, Steel Dynamics repurchased $307 million worth of its common stock through Sept. 11, 2024.
Shares of Steel Dynamics have gained 13.1% in the past year against a 14.3% decline in its industry.

Following the pressure on shares of North America steel companies due to weakening fundamentals, they are now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-steel-stocks">more attractively valued</a>.
North American steel equities are now better positioned, with a potential improvement in the rate environment ahead and a stable post-election backdrop in 2025, according to JPMorgan.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5aabc09cb023000001cb8b57/bill-peterson">Analyst Bill Peterson</a> upgraded the ratings for:
<ul>
<li>Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) from Neutral to Overweight, while raising the price target from $170 to $174.</li>
<li>Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) from Underweight to Neutral, while lifting the price target from $120 to $131.</li>
<li>United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) from Neutral to Overweight, while raising the price target from $40 to $42.</li>
</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Nucor, Steel Dynamics and US Steel are likely to provide "timid outlook comments" next week, due to "lower lagged-contract pricing and hand-to-mouth buying more than offsetting easing scrap costs," Peterson said in a note.
Uncertainties related to Fed rates and election results are likely to be "a key overhang" on demand in the back half of the year, "likely resulting in further de-risking of consensus estimates," the analyst wrote.
Nucor and United States Steel are the best positioned for upside going into next year, according to Peterson. While both Nucor and Steel Dynamics have "strong product diversification," Peterson noted that the recent pullback in United States Steel&#8217;s stock offers "an attractive buying opportunity on standalone valuation support."
Price action at the time of publication Monday:
<ul>
<li>Nucor's shares had climbed by 2.95% to $142.89</li>
<li>Shares of Steel Dynamics had risen by 1.22% to $112.35</li>

Steel Stocks Rebound: JPMorgan Lifts Ratings On Nucor, Steel Dynamics, US Steel

JP Morgan analyst Bill Peterson upgrades Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) from Underweight to Neutral and raises the price target from $120 to $131.

JP Morgan Upgrades Steel Dynamics to Neutral, Raises Price Target to $131

Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD)&nbsp;today petitioned the Department of Commerce (DOC) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to apply antidumping duties against imports of corrosion resistant flat rolled steel (CORE) from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, UAE, and Vietnam, and countervailing duties against imports of CORE from Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Vietnam. The company was joined by four other organizations in at least one or more of these cases.
"Between the first half of 2023 and the first half of 2024, imports of CORE from the ten subject countries surged from less than 1.25 million tons to almost two million tons, a significant 57 percent increase. The surge of unfairly traded imports of CORE has had a significant negative impact on the domestic steel industry's volume, prices, and profits, necessitating these cases," said Barry T. Schneider, President and Chief Operating Officer.
CORE steel is used in various market sectors, including in the production of automobiles, appliances, and in many construction applications. CORE products consist of hot rolled and cold rolled steel, which has been coated with zinc, and in some cases aluminum, and may be painted or have other coatings applied to make the product corrosion resistant. The present annual U.S. market demand for these products is over 20 million tons.
"Steel Dynamics has invested $3.7 billion in our steel divisions since June 2019, including investments in a new state-of-the-art 3.0-million-ton electric arc furnace flat rolled steel mill, four flat rolled galvanizing lines with Galvalume&#xAE;&nbsp;capability, and three flat rolled paint lines. Corrosion-resistant flat rolled steel is a strategically important product to the domestic steel industry, and the restoration of fair trade is critically important," said Christopher A. Graham, Senior Vice President, Flat Roll Steel Group.
Under the unfair trade statutes, the DOC must determine whether to initiate the requested investigations within 20 days, and the ITC must make a preliminary determination of injury within 45 days. Subject to initiation, the company expects preliminary determinations on subsidies later this year and on dumping early next year, though these determinations are subject to extension. Final rulings by both agencies should be completed by October 2025.
