Andrew Jones CFA has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Nucor’s strong third-quarter performance, which exceeded market expectations. The company’s adjusted EBITDA and EPS surpassed consensus estimates, driven largely by robust results in the Steel Mills segment, which benefited from higher volumes and prices.
Additionally, Nucor’s operational cash flow was solid, and the company maintained its dividend while executing share buybacks, indicating a strong financial position. Despite a weaker outlook for the fourth quarter, the ongoing progress on major projects and an increased capital expenditure guidance suggest a positive long-term growth trajectory. The valuation, with a price target of $165 per share, reflects confidence in Nucor’s ability to capitalize on its strategic initiatives and market conditions.
