Steel Dynamics Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2026
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (STLD) reported a sharply higher third quarter of 2026, with net sales of $6.51 billion, up from $4.83 billion in the third quarter of 2025, and operating income of $1.01 billion, compared with $507.8 million a year earlier. Net income attributable to Steel Dynamics, Inc. was $756.0 million, or $5.26 per diluted share, versus $403.7 million, or $2.74 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. The filing attributes the improvement primarily to steel operations, where average selling prices rose 25% (about $282 per ton) while scrap costs rose less, widening metal spreads. The company also cited record quarterly total steel shipments of 3.8 million tons. Not all segments improved. Steel fabrication operating income fell 15% to $90.6 million on rising steel input costs, and profit sharing expense rose to $81.3 million for the quarter. Interest expense increased to $39.3 million, reflecting lower capitalized interest as construction of the aluminum flat rolled products mill was substantially completed in 2025. The aluminum operations segment, which is still commissioning, shipped 55,000 metric tons of finished product in the quarter and continued to post an operating loss of $26.2 million. Balance sheet and cash flow remained solid. Cash and equivalents were $928.6 million and total liquidity was $2.37 billion at September 30, 2026, including $1.19 billion of Revolver availability with no borrowings outstanding. Total outstanding debt of $4.2 billion was unchanged from December 31, 2025, and the company stated it was in compliance with its financial covenants. Nine-month operating cash flow was $1.42 billion, and the company repurchased $590.9 million of stock and paid $225.1 million in dividends during the period.
Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Financial Results (Oct 20, 2026)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. reported third quarter 2026 results in a press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. Net sales were $6.5 billion, operating income was $1.0 billion, and net income was $756 million, or $5.26 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 billion and cash flow from operations was $846 million. Management said steel prices continued to improve during the quarter, with sequential operating income up $306 million, or 44 percent, on record steel shipments of 3.8 million tons and expanded metal spreads. The steel fabrication segment's order backlog was described as 50 percent higher than a year earlier. For the first nine months of 2026, net sales rose 29 percent to $17.8 billion and operating income rose 93 percent to $2.2 billion, driven by higher realized steel pricing and shipments. Net income for the period was $1.7 billion, or $11.72 per diluted share, compared with $920 million, or $6.17 per diluted share, a year earlier. Aluminum operations remained in startup, with a third-quarter operating loss of $26 million and EBITDA breakeven for the quarter. Management said the first of two continuous annealing and solution heat (CASH) lines is expected to ship finished automotive products before year-end, and the second is expected to become operational early in the first quarter of 2027. During the quarter the company repurchased $276 million of its common stock, paid $76 million in dividends, and invested $150 million in capital expenditures, ending September 30, 2026 with liquidity of $2.4 billion. Management expressed optimism about steel and aluminum demand into 2027 and beyond, citing infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, and data center investment, while noting that additional domestic capacity may enter the market in coming years.
Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Oct 19, 2026)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on October 19, 2026 under Item 8.01 (Other Events) to furnish a press release titled "Steel Dynamics Announces Leadership Promotions" as Exhibit 99.1. The announcement is a leadership and talent development update rather than a financial disclosure; the filing contains no financial results, guidance, or financial statements. The press release states that Chad Bickford, Jeff Hansen, and Tommy Scruggs were promoted to Senior Vice President effective October 1, 2026, with Bickford continuing to lead steel fabrication with added influence over overall growth strategy, Hansen retaining environmental sustainability and decarbonization responsibilities (including the renewable biocarbon facility) with added influence over energy strategy, and Scruggs continuing to lead Flat Roll commercial operations, including the newly acquired New Process Steel operations. Effective November 1, 2026, Daniel Keown is named Senior Vice President of Flat Rolled Steel Production, Yury Krotov is named Vice President of Long Products Steel Operations, and Dominic Freiburger is named Vice President and Treasurer. The release references "recent leadership changes announced in August" and names Rick Poinsatte as incoming Chief Financial Officer and Theresa E. Wagler as incoming President and Chief Executive Officer. For investors, the key takeaway is organizational: the company is reinforcing its operating and commercial leadership bench and assigning clearer ownership of flat rolled production, long products, and treasury. The filing does not quantify any financial impact of these changes.
Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Sep 18, 2026)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. furnished a Form 8-K on September 18, 2026 (Item 7.01, Regulation FD) attaching a September 17, 2026 press release that provides third quarter 2026 earnings guidance of $5.34 to $5.38 per diluted share. The company compares this with sequential second quarter 2026 earnings of $3.69 per diluted share and prior year third quarter earnings of $2.74 per diluted share. The information is furnished, not filed, under Section 18 of the Exchange Act. By segment, the company expects steel operations profitability to be significantly higher than in the second quarter, driven by metal margin expansion across the platform and record shipments, with average realized steel selling values expected to rise alongside lower scrap costs. Metals recycling earnings are expected to be lower sequentially due to lower metal spreads and modestly lower shipments. Steel fabrication earnings are expected to improve modestly, and the current backlog is described as nearly 50 percent higher than prior-year third quarter levels and extending through the first quarter of 2027. Aluminum earnings are expected to improve meaningfully on higher shipments, with the first of two CASH lines at the Columbus, Mississippi flat rolled products mill operating and expected to ship commercial material in the fourth quarter. The company also reported repurchasing $261 million, or just under one percent, of its common stock so far in the third quarter of 2026, and plans to release third quarter earnings after the market closes on October 19, 2026, with a conference call the next day at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
Steel Dynamics 8-K/A Report, Executive Changes (Aug 18, 2026)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (STLD) filed Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K, which amends the company's August 4, 2026 Form 8-K. The Explanatory Note states that the earlier report addressed, among other things, Mark D. Millett's planned retirement as Chief Executive Officer effective January 1, 2027, and related leadership transitions. The substantive disclosure under Item 5.02 concerns one-time transition awards. At a meeting held on August 12, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved restricted stock unit grants to Barry Schneider and Christopher Graham. Each will receive restricted stock units valued at $2,000,000, to be granted on December 15, 2026. Half of each award vests on December 15, 2028 and the other half vests on December 15, 2029. Vesting in each case is subject to the executive remaining currently employed by the company. For investors, the filing is narrow in scope. It discloses retention-oriented equity compensation tied to continued employment through the leadership transition, with vesting extending to December 2029. The filing does not contain financial results or other operating metrics.
Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Aug 14, 2026)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) filed this Form 8-K on August 14, 2026 under Item 8.01 (Other Events) to furnish a press release announcing that its board of directors declared a third quarter 2026 cash dividend. The filing states that the dividend is $0.53 per common share. It is payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2026, and is expected to be paid on or about October 9, 2026. The filing is otherwise limited in scope. Its exhibit describes the company as a leading industrial metals solutions company with facilities in the United States and Mexico, operating a circular manufacturing model that uses recycled scrap as its primary input. The company also notes it has recently added aluminum operations supplying flat rolled products with higher recycled content to the beverage can, automotive and industrial sectors. The 8-K contains no financial results, guidance, or other quantitative disclosures beyond the dividend terms. For investors, the principal takeaway is the declaration of a regular quarterly dividend of $0.53 per share with defined record and payment dates. The filing is signed by Theresa E. Wagler, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Operating income rose 88% to $1.2 billion. The company repurchased $315 million of common stock in the first half and ended the period with liquidity of $2.0 billion. Aluminum operations remained loss-making in the quarter, with an operating loss of $33 million, but management expects volumes and profitability to rise sharply in the second half of 2026 and in full-year 2027 as startup costs subside and the third cold mill ramps toward full capacity of 650,000 metric tons. Management stated that steel fundamentals continued to strengthen, with improved pricing, solid demand, lower customer inventories, and extended backlogs and lead times. The company said automotive aluminum sales are expected to commence before the end of 2026. The results are furnished under Item 2.02 and are not deemed filed for Section 18 purposes.
Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jun 18, 2026)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) furnished a Form 8-K dated June 18, 2026, attaching a June 17, 2026 press release that provides second quarter 2026 earnings guidance of $3.51 to $3.55 per diluted share. For comparison, the company cited first quarter 2026 earnings of $2.78 per diluted share and prior year second quarter earnings of $2.01 per diluted share. The guidance reflects a $16 million reduction in estimated second quarter earnings from asset write-downs tied to relocating the planned second satellite aluminum recycled slab center from Arizona to Columbus, Mississippi, following differences with Arizona state officials. Management expects second quarter steel operations profitability to be meaningfully higher than the first quarter, driven by strong demand and metal margin expansion, with realized selling values rising more than scrap costs. Metals recycling earnings are expected to be similar to the first quarter, as higher shipments are offset by nonferrous unrealized hedging losses. Steel fabrication earnings are expected to be incrementally below the first quarter due to higher steel input costs, though its order backlog is stated as nearly 40% higher than a year ago. Aluminum earnings are expected to improve significantly on higher shipments and pricing, as the Columbus, Mississippi flat rolled products mill continues commissioning, with two of three cold mills operational. The company also stated it repurchased $170 million, or one half of one percent, of its common stock during the second quarter of 2026. Second quarter results are scheduled for release after market close on July 20, 2026, with a conference call the following day at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

Net sales rose to $5.20 billion from $4.37 billion in the first quarter of 2025, and operating income increased to $538.0 million from $275.1 million. Net income attributable to Steel Dynamics, Inc. was $403.4 million, or $2.78 per diluted share, versus $217.2 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, a year earlier. Management attributes the gains mainly to expanded metal spreads in the steel and metals recycling operations, and states that steel shipments reached a record 3.6 million tons with underlying domestic demand strengthening and backlogs increasing. The steel operations segment drove most of the improvement, with operating income of $555.5 million compared with $228.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Steel fabrication operating income declined to $89.5 million from $116.7 million as metal spreads contracted. The aluminum operations segment, which is still ramping up its recycled aluminum flat rolled mill, posted an operating loss of $64.6 million, and management says operations were temporarily paused to resolve startup issues. The balance sheet and liquidity remain solid. Cash and equivalents were $556.5 million, total liquidity was $2.0 billion including $1.19 billion of Revolver availability, and total outstanding debt was $4.2 billion, unchanged from year-end 2025. Operating cash flow was $148.3 million, reflecting a $373.8 million increase in accounts receivable and a $169.6 million increase in inventories.

Compared with the sequential fourth quarter of 2025, net income attributable to the company rose from $266.0 million ($1.82 per diluted share), and operating income increased $228 million, or 73 percent, year over year, driven by record shipments and higher steel prices. Steel operating income was $557 million, and the company said steel pricing rose more than ferrous scrap costs. Aluminum operations remained a drag, with a first quarter operating loss of $65 million as the company commissioned its Columbus, Mississippi aluminum flat rolled mill and its San Luis Potosi, Mexico satellite recycled aluminum slab center. Management said an January startup pause and inventory write-off affected results, and expects shipments and earnings to increase sharply in the second quarter of 2026. The third cold mill and second CASH line are scheduled to commission in the third quarter of 2026. Steel fabrication operating income was $90 million, with its customer order backlog stated as over 38 percent higher than a year ago. Cash flow from operations was $148 million after a $120 million annual companywide retirement profit-sharing distribution, and working capital (excluding profit-sharing and income taxes) increased $413 million.

Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Mar 18, 2026)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. furnished a press release dated March 17, 2026 under Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K, providing first quarter 2026 earnings guidance of $2.73 to $2.77 per diluted share. That compares with $1.82 per diluted share for sequential fourth quarter 2025 and $1.44 per diluted share for first quarter 2025. The company said steel operations profitability is expected to be meaningfully higher than in the fourth quarter, driven by increased shipments and metal margin expansion, while metals recycling earnings are expected to be higher on significantly expanded metal margins despite somewhat lower shipments due to winter weather. Steel fabrication earnings are expected to be steady sequentially, with customer order backlog over 35 percent higher than a year ago. The release also reports progress on the Columbus, Mississippi aluminum flat rolled products mill, which has produced finished products for industrial and beverage can sectors and has received several can sheet product qualifications, with additional qualifications ongoing. On capital allocation, the company estimates it repurchased about $66 million of common stock so far in the first quarter, and it temporarily slowed its buyback cadence due to roughly $126 million in annual profit-sharing payments and higher working capital tied to the aluminum ramp and rising aluminum prices. It plans to resume a normalized repurchase cadence in the second quarter of 2026. The company plans to release first quarter 2026 results after market close on Monday, April 20, 2026, with a conference call the following day at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Dec 17, 2025)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) furnished a Form 8-K on December 17, 2025, under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure), attaching Exhibit 99.1, a press release titled "Steel Dynamics Provides Fourth Quarter 2025 Earnings Guidance." The company guided fourth quarter 2025 diluted earnings per share to a range of $1.65 to $1.69, compared with $2.74 per diluted share in the sequential third quarter of 2025 and $1.36 in the prior-year fourth quarter. The company expects steel operations profitability to be meaningfully lower than the third quarter, citing lower average realized selling values, seasonal demand, and planned flat rolled mill maintenance outages that were longer than anticipated and reduced fourth quarter flat rolled production by an estimated 140,000 to 150,000 tons. Management noted that flat rolled steel prices have recently improved as import volume declined and demand has been seasonally steady. The metals recycling and steel fabrication segments are also expected to earn less than in the third quarter, reflecting seasonally lower shipments. Fabrication has an order backlog extending well into the second quarter of 2026 with healthy pricing, and management expects improved volumes in 2026. In aluminum, the company reported continued commissioning and startup of its Columbus, Mississippi aluminum flat rolled products mill and San Luis Potosi satellite recycled slab center, with product qualifications from several can sheet consumers and ongoing downstream line commissioning. The company also stated it has repurchased an estimated $200 million, or one percent, of its common stock so far in the fourth quarter of 2025. Steel Dynamics plans to release fourth quarter 2025 earnings before market open on January 26, 2026, with a conference call the same day at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Sep 15, 2025)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) furnished a Form 8-K under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) attaching a press release dated September 15, 2025, titled "Steel Dynamics Provides Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Guidance." The company guided to third quarter 2025 earnings of $2.60 to $2.64 per diluted share, compared with sequential second quarter 2025 earnings of $2.01 per diluted share and prior year third quarter earnings of $2.05 per diluted share. The information is furnished and not deemed filed under Section 18 of the Exchange Act. Management expects steel operations profitability to be stronger than in the second quarter, driven by strong shipments and metal spread expansion, as scrap raw material costs are expected to decline more than average realized steel pricing. Metals recycling earnings are expected to be significantly stronger than second quarter results, and steel fabrication earnings are expected to be higher on increased volume and steady metal spread, with a strong order backlog and healthy pricing. The non-residential construction, automotive, energy, and industrial sectors are cited as leading demand. On the aluminum business, the company reported successful commissioning and startup of its Columbus, Mississippi aluminum flat rolled products mill and its San Luis Potosi satellite recycled slab center, with cast houses and the hot strip mill performing above expectations and commissioning ongoing in other areas, including the cold mill. As of September 11, 2025, the company had repurchased $185 million, or one percent, of its common stock during the third quarter. The company plans to release third quarter results after market close on October 20, 2025, with a conference call the following day at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

For the first half of 2025, operating income was $658.0 million and net income attributable to the company was $515.9 million, both down roughly half from the prior year period. Segment results were mixed. Metals recycling operations and aluminum-related volume grew, with record quarterly ferrous scrap shipments, while steel fabrication operating income fell 48% in the quarter and aluminum operations posted an operating loss of $40.6 million as start-up costs rose. The company reported first aluminum coils sold late in the second quarter, and it expects volume to increase over the coming months. Steel shipments rose 5% to 3.3 million tons in the quarter. Balance sheet leverage increased. Total debt reached $3.8 billion after the March 2025 issuance of $1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes, which included repayment of $400.0 million of 2.400% notes at maturity. Cash and equivalents were $458.0 million, and total liquidity was $1.93 billion, including $1.19 billion of Revolver availability.

Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jul 22, 2025)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) furnished a press release reporting its second quarter 2025 results, filed under Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K dated July 22, 2025. For the quarter, net sales were $4.57 billion, operating income was $382.9 million, and net income attributable to Steel Dynamics was $298.7 million, or $2.01 per diluted share, compared with $2.72 per diluted share in the prior-year second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $533.4 million and cash flow from operations was $301.6 million. Management said steel pricing stabilized at higher levels during the quarter, and that steel operating income rose sequentially, with a $32 million noncash write-off of consumable assets reducing steel earnings. Steel fabrication operating income declined sequentially to $93.1 million, though management said profitability reached an inflection point. The company also reported that it shipped its first aluminum flat rolled coils on June 16, 2025. For the first half of 2025, net sales were $8.93 billion and operating income was $658.0 million, down from $1.31 billion in the same period of 2024. Net income attributable to Steel Dynamics for the six months was $515.9 million, or $3.44 per diluted share. Management cited lower realized steel pricing and reduced steel fabrication profitability as drivers of the decline. Liquidity was $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2025, after the company repaid $400 million of senior notes due June 2025 and repurchased $200 million of common stock in the quarter. Management cited trade-policy uncertainty as causing customer hesitancy and an inventory overhang of coated flat rolled steel, which lowered steel shipments in the quarter. Management expects the U.S. International Trade Commission's final determinations on coated flat rolled steel before the end of the third quarter 2025, and it anticipates exiting 2025 at an aluminum utilization rate of 40 to 50 percent, rising to a 75 percent exit rate in 2026.
Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jun 18, 2025)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) provided second quarter 2025 earnings guidance of $2.00 to $2.04 per diluted share, compared with sequential first quarter 2025 earnings of $1.44 per diluted share and prior year second quarter earnings of $2.72 per diluted share. The company expects steel operations profitability to be significantly stronger than in the first quarter, as average realized steel pricing rose more than scrap raw material costs, expanding metal spreads across the platform. Steel segment pretax earnings will absorb an approximately $32 million noncash write-off of consumable assets. By segment, metals recycling earnings are expected to be steady sequentially, with stronger shipments offset by lower realized pricing. Steel fabrication earnings are expected to be lower than in the first quarter because steel raw material costs rose and average realized sales prices modestly declined, although order activity increased and the order backlog improved, extending through 2025. Flat rolled volumes contracted modestly due to the inventory overhang from coated flat rolled steel imports. The aluminum flat rolled mill in Columbus, Mississippi and the San Luis Potosi satellite recycled slab center are being commissioned, with shipments expected to begin in mid-2025. The company had repurchased $179 million of its common stock in the second quarter as of June 11, 2025. Second quarter 2025 earnings are scheduled for release after the market close on Monday, July 21, 2025, with a conference call at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time the following day. This filing is furnished under Item 7.01 and is not deemed filed for Section 18 purposes.

Net income attributable to Steel Dynamics, Inc. decreased to $217.2 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.44, versus $3.67 a year earlier. The company attributes the decline to steel and fabrication metal spreads contracting, with steel operations average selling prices down 17%, or $204 per ton, even as steel shipments reached a record 3.5 million tons. Balance sheet and liquidity changed meaningfully during the quarter. The company issued $600.0 million of 5.250% notes due 2035 and $400.0 million of 5.750% notes due 2055 in March 2025, raising total debt to $4.2 billion, an increase of $965.1 million from December 31, 2024.

Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Financial Results (Apr 23, 2025)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) reported first quarter 2025 results in a press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K. Net sales were $4.37 billion, operating income was $275.1 million, and net income attributable to Steel Dynamics was $217.2 million, or $1.44 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $207.3 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024, and $584.0 million, or $3.67 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $448.3 million, and cash flow from operations was $152.6 million, after an annual companywide retirement profit-sharing distribution of $165 million. Management attributed the sequential improvement to record steel shipments of 3.5 million tons, partly offset by metal spread compression, as lagging flat rolled contract pricing did not yet reflect recent price increases. The average external steel selling price fell to $998 per ton. Steel operations generated $230.0 million of operating income, metals recycling $25.7 million, and steel fabrication $116.7 million, while the aluminum segment posted an operating loss of $28.7 million. Management said steel prices firmed during the quarter, order backlogs rose, and the Columbus, Mississippi aluminum flat rolled mill is on track to ship commercial coils in mid-2025. The company issued $1.0 billion of unsecured notes in March 2025, consisting of $600 million of 5.250% notes due 2035 and $400 million of 5.750% notes due 2055. Cash and equivalents rose to $1.19 billion, and long-term debt increased to $3.78 billion from $2.80 billion at year-end 2024. Liquidity was $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2025. During the quarter the company repurchased $250 million of common stock, representing 1.3 percent of outstanding shares, and raised its first-quarter cash dividend by 9 percent.
Steel Dynamics 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Mar 18, 2025)
Steel Dynamics, Inc. furnished a press release dated March 17, 2025 under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD), providing its first quarter 2025 earnings guidance of $1.36 to $1.40 per diluted share. The company compared this with sequential fourth quarter 2024 earnings of $1.36 per diluted share and prior year first quarter earnings of $3.67 per diluted share. Management expects steel operations to be stronger than in the fourth quarter on higher shipments that more than offset some metal margin compression, while metals recycling earnings are expected to be higher and steel fabrication earnings lower than the fourth quarter. The release describes continued demand led by the energy, non-residential construction, automotive, and industrial sectors. It also reports that the Sinton Texas Flat Roll Division operated at production levels above 90 percent in the first quarter of 2025, and that steel fabrication order activity increased with backlog extending well into the third quarter of 2025. In aluminum, the Columbus, Mississippi flat rolled mill and San Luis Potosi satellite recycled slab center are being commissioned, with the company continuing to expect to begin shipping material in mid-2025.

Net sales decreased seven percent and operating income declined 38 percent versus 2023, driven by lower shipments and metal spread contraction in the steel and steel fabrication operations. Fourth quarter 2024 net income was $207 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, compared with $318 million ($2.05 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2024 and $424 million ($2.61 per diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2023. Steel operating income fell 46 percent sequentially in the fourth quarter to $165 million, reflecting seasonally lower shipments, metal spread compression, and an unplanned outage at the Butler Flat Roll Division. Capital allocation remained a major focus. The company invested $1.9 billion in organic growth, paid $283 million in cash dividends, and repurchased $1.2 billion of common stock, representing six percent of outstanding shares, while ending 2024 with liquidity of $2.2 billion.
