Negative Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Nucor reported fourth-quarter 2024 net earnings attributable to stockholders of $287 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, down from $785 million, or $3.16 per share, a year earlier. Full-year 2024 net earnings were $2.03 billion, or $8.46 per share, versus $4.53 billion, or $18.00 per share, in 2023. The company said it expects lower overall net earnings in the first quarter of 2025 because of higher corporate, administrative and tax costs.
