Nucor Corporation reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings with revenue of $8.46 billion, slightly below the estimated $8.54 billion but representing an approximate 8% year-over-year increase. The company posted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.60, surpassing the estimate of $2.55, and net income of $603 million, down from $645 million in Q2 2024. Adjusted net income reached $706 million, exceeding the estimated $557 million, while EBITDA was reported at $1.30 billion. Nucor indicated that it expects third-quarter earnings to be nominally lower than the second quarter. Meanwhile, ArcelorMittal reported second-quarter 2025 sales of $15.93 billion, slightly above the $15.74 billion estimate, with an EBITDA of $1.86 billion, just below the estimated $1.87 billion. Despite the slight profit beat, ArcelorMittal cut its 2025 apparent steel consumption outlook for the U.S., citing subdued economic activity. The company also reported an 80.2% increase in net income up to June, totaling 2.27 billion euros.
