Nucor reported third-quarter 2025 net earnings attributable to stockholders of $607 million, or $2.63 per diluted share, up from $603 million, or $2.60 per share, in the second quarter and $250 million, or $1.05 per share, a year earlier. Net sales were $8.52 billion, compared with $8.46 billion in the second quarter and $7.44 billion a year earlier. Management expects fourth-quarter 2025 earnings to be lower than the third quarter, citing lower volumes and lower realized pricing in several segments.

Written later: this filing was briefed after the fact, when past filings were added to the site, so the brief may be read with hindsight; the filing itself is the record of what was known on October 27, 2025.
