Steel Dynamics plans to acquire remaining 55% stake in New Process Steel which is Steel Dynamics' largest flat roll steel customer. This move is viewed as a significant step toward major steel industry consolidation. Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ: STLD) stock surged by 5.50% on August 22 despite a dip in earnings caused by mixed signals and weak technicals. Institutional ownership in the company remains strong, hovering around 83%. However, the relatively high level of debt remains a concern for some investors. Amid tariff uncertainty, Steel Dynamics expands into aluminum, capturing investor attention for material dividends. Although Q2 2025 earnings missed expectations, UBS maintains a buy on STLD due to pricing stability. Recent dividends showed resilience despite trade uncertainties, rewarding shareholders with a $0.50 per share payout. Meanwhile, Steel Dynamics faces mixed reactions from the market with declining stock value yet solid fundamentals. Amid numerous challenges, STLD makes history as the first major steel producer to gain global climate certification for every mill.
