In the recent updates regarding Nucor Corporation's (NUE) performance, the company has been in high demand amongst institutional investors. With major investments coming in from Prosperity Consulting Group and Allspring Global Investments as well as the State of Michigan Retirement System, the company's stock ownership is largely institutional, standing at nearly 80%. However, fluctuations in the market have shown varied performance.
Executive Vice President Allan Behr and Kenneth Query have both sold significant amounts of NUCOR Corp stock, pointing towards potential weakness. The company has also issued downbeat Q4 guidance mainly due to import pressure. On the other hand, NUCOR has been making strategic acquisitions, such as Rytec and Southwest Data Products, to boost its data center capabilities and eco-friendly steel production, in partnership with Mercedes-Benz. The company's Q1 earnings were below estimates and lower Q2 earnings have been projected amid weaker steel prices. Despite having missed earnings estimates, analysts still consider NUCOR as a buy, particularly for its upcoming dividend.
