Let's see if it's time to buy Nucor (NUE) stock for a rebound after falling more than 30% over the last year.
It is hard to find good dividend stocks that operate in cyclical industries. That doesn't mean it can't be done, however.
In the most recent trading session, Nucor (NUE) closed at $115.78, indicating a -1.85% shift from the previous trading day.
The main cause of the expected decline in NUE's Q4 profitability is the steel mills segment's lower earnings due to lower volumes and average selling prices.
Shares of Nucor Corporation NUE are falling on Friday. This follows Thursday's drop of more than 5%.
Since commencing dividends in 1973, NUE has increased its regular or base dividend for 52 years in a row.
Nucor Corporation is well-positioned to benefit from expected steel demand growth, driven by infrastructure investments and favorable policies under the upcoming Trump administration. Despite short-term boosts from tariffs, long-term steel prices will be influenced more by demand dynamics, which are expected to improve significantly. Nucor's strategic investments in manufacturing capacity, production efficiency, and new revenue streams position it to capitalize on the steel market recovery.

Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of Nucor with a Buy rating and $190 price target. The prevailing sentiment towards the U.S. steel industry seems pessimistic given concerns on global over supply and weak but improving pricing, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm is more positive given its belief that both cyclical and structural factors could drive earnings growth for the domestic steel industry despite a weaker global backdrop. Goldman believes the U.S. steel industry and the stocks are near or at the trough of the current cycle.
