• Nucor is the largest and lowest-cost steelmaker in North America, running electric arc furnaces with a flexible, mostly variable cost base that lets it stay profitable deep into the down part of the steel cycle. [Source: Nucor FY2024 10-K] • The defining risk is that steel is cyclical: Q1 2026 earnings of $3.23 per share rode a 14% jump in average selling price and tariff-driven import relief, and a buyer at today's price is paying a multiple that requires demand and pricing to stay strong rat
