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.
