Nucor Corporation's recent activities suggest a mixed picture for its future prospects. On the one hand, it has continued its
dividend paying streak and has been undertaking strategic
M&A efforts, such as the acquisition of
Rytec and
Southwest Data Products. Also, Q2 earnings have
beat estimates despite lower steel prices. On the downside, the company's recent performance is
underperforming the Nasdaq, and there's foreseeable weakness given the anticipations of
lower Q2 earnings due to
weaker steel prices. The market seems to be responding to these developments negatively as reflected in the
drop in Nucor's stock even amid positive market upticks. Additionally, Nucor experienced a recent
8.6% drop which added to their already sustained losses throughout the previous year. Institutional investors own
78% of the company, thus further drops may trigger severe steps from them. Yet, analysts view Nucor stock as an attractive buy given its
strong fundamentals and
continuous dividends.
