NEGATIVE IMPACT
Nucor reported lower-than-expected Q1 revenue and earnings, repurchased shares, declared a dividend, and forecasted lower Q2 earnings due to decreased steel mills segment earnings.
Nucor's earnings miss and the expectation of decreased earnings in Q2, primarily due to lower average selling prices, suggest a negative short-term outlook. The dividend declaration may provide some support to the stock price.
