Nucor says backlogs ‘materially higher’ vs. last year

“As we look ahead into 2026, we are encouraged by backlogs that are materially higher than they were a year ago at this time, reflecting continuing momentum in select construction market segments such as energy, infrastructure, data centers and manufacturing. We are also optimistic that monetary, tax and trade policy will lead to continued gradual improvement in business conditions for Nucor (NUE).”
