Steel Dynamics Provides Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Guidance

Steel Dynamics, Inc. has provided third-quarter 2026 earnings guidance in the range of $5.34 to $5.38 per diluted share, indicating a significant increase from the second quarter 2026 earnings of $3.69 per diluted share and prior year third quarter earnings of $2.74 per diluted share. The expected profitability is driven by higher earnings from steel operations, lower earnings from metals recycling operations, modest improvement in steel fabrication operations, and improved earnings from aluminum operations. The company has also repurchased $261 million of its common stock during the third quarter of 2026. Steel Dynamics plans to release its third-quarter 2026 earnings after the market closes on October 19, 2026, and will hold a conference call the next day to discuss the company's performance.
