Investors have had to deal with a lot of uncertainty lately in the stock market as President Trump has rolled out the latest rounds of tariffs, targeting goods traded with China, Mexico, and Canada first. These policies have created a common view for investors that leans on inflation coming back and domestic business demand falling off a cliff.
Nucor Corp (NYSE: NUE) is pushing up this morning after the United States announced its first batch of tariffs against China, Mexico, and even its lifelong ally, Canada. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump raised tariffs by 10% on all imports from China and about 25% each on Mexico and Canada.
The initial reaction to Trump tariffs 2.0: Good for domestic producers of steel, bad for domestic users of steel.
Nucor's shares have underperformed due to declining steel prices, but recent Q4 results provided a 4% boost, making it a good time to revisit the stock. Despite a challenging year with lower pricing and volumes, Nucor maintained strong cash generation and balance sheet strength, supporting continued capital deployment and dividends. Potential trade policies under the new Trump Administration could benefit Nucor, with medium-term EPS projected at $12.75-$13.25, making shares attractive at less than 10x earnings.
Nucor Corp NUE posted better-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results, after the closing bell on Monday.
