Вывод Buzzberg
Steel mill backlog up 20% to 4.7 million tons, highest since mid-2021
Nucor reported a strong Q1 2026 with record mill shipments and raised confidence in a better Q2. Management highlighted a robust demand environment, reduced import competition due to trade policy, and the beginning of a harvest phase for major growth projects like the new West Virginia sheet mill. The tone is significantly more optimistic than previous quarters, with management pointing to a 'pent-up tsunami' of earnings power. Record Q1 steel mill shipments of 7 million tons and backlog up 20% from year-end indicates very strong demand.

- Finished steel import share fell to ~15%, the lowest in management's career, due to tariffs and trade enforcement.
- Major projects, including the West Virginia sheet mill, are ramping and expected to drive significant earnings growth starting in late 2026 and into 2027.
- Q2 earnings are guided higher with improvements across all segments, driven by a lag effect in pricing catching up to market rates.

Nucor's sheet pricing strategy is deliberately 'slow and steady' to avoid attracting a surge of imports, which had previously followed rapid price spikes.
Доказательства
“we didn't chase the market down in Q4. We managed our order book to match what we saw as true underlying demand. And you saw this reflected in our steady, I would call it modest, consistent approach with pricing and CSP.”
Total US imports of finished steel have dropped significantly, from over 22% to 15% of market share, creating a ~5 million ton window of serviceable market for domestic suppliers.
Доказательства
“imports that were 9 million-ish tons. This year we're tracking 4 million or under. So there's a 5 million-ton window of serviceable market for domestic suppliers.”
