A series of reports indicate Nucor Corporation (NUE) performing positively in Q1 2025 despite several challenges. The steelmaker's effective strategy and strong financial performance have led to its stock price increasing by about 3.66%. A surge in steel demand has been forecasted, which will lead to a significant surge in Q2 profits–in fact, EPS is expected to quadruple. Also, the company's Q2 earnings guidance has beaten market expectations, causing an uptick in its stock. Despite some periods of weakness, experts like Jim Cramer are showing confidence in NUE and advising investors to hold, predicting potential growth to $80 per share. However, some reports indicate NUE's underperformance in the basic materials sector and a YTD decrease of 33%. Regardless, NUE is expected to maintain dominance in steel production, thanks to major macroeconomic factors in its favor. Given its consistent dividend payment over 209 consecutive quarters and the potential increase in earning estimates if tariffs are levied, NUE holds promise.
