The company said, “Earnings in the first quarter of 2026 are expected to increase across all three of our operating segments as compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, with the largest increase in the steel mills segment. The expected increase in the steel mills segment earnings is due to higher average selling prices and volumes across all product groups. In the steel products segment, we expect improved earnings due to increased volumes and stable average realized pricing. The raw materials segment is expected to have slightly higher earnings in the first quarter of 2026.”
