Nucor Corp: what insiders have been doing
Headquartered in Charlotte, United States, Nucor Corp belongs to the Chemicals & Materials sector and traces its origins to 1955. Filings by its managers are published through SEC (Form 4). Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 55 filings were filed, from 21 insiders.
No insider bought on the market over the period, while 6 insiders filed 12 sales totalling €14.2M. The largest single trade was a sale of €6.0M by Topalian Leon J, published on 19 August 2026, equal to 0.012% of the market capitalisation.
Typically, a trade is published a median of 4 days after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 5,810 companies) published 19 filings over the same period, against 55 filings here. The full history, which starts in 2016, counts 2 purchases against 69 sales. For the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, the annual 10-K puts net income at 1.74 bn USD, and the dividend at 2.21 USD per share.

About Nucor Corp
Nucor Corp. (NYSE: NUE) is a U.S.-listed industrial company on the NYSE and one of North America’s leading steelmakers and metal recyclers. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Nucor built its business around electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, a model that has become central to its identity, cost discipline, and environmental positioning. The company’s origins date back to the 1960s, when Ken Iverson helped reshape the business into a steel-focused platform; Nucor’s first minimill began operating in 1969, and the company adopted the Nucor name in 1971. Today, Nucor describes itself as the largest steel producer and recycler in the United States, with more than 300 locations and a sizable workforce across North America. Nucor reports through three operating segments: steel mills, steel products, and raw materials. The steel mills segment produces sheet, bar, structural, and plate products; the steel products segment includes downstream and value-added offerings such as joists, deck, building systems, insulated metal panels, piling products, towers, and other fabricated steel solutions; and the raw materials segment supports supply security and cost competitiveness through upstream inputs and related activities. This integrated-but-flexible model is a key competitive advantage because it diversifies end-market exposure while capturing more value across the steel chain. From a market position standpoint, Nucor benefits from scale, a strong domestic footprint, and close exposure to U.S. non-residential construction demand, while remaining cyclical and sensitive to steel pricing, scrap and energy costs, and import competition. Geographically, the company is primarily U.S.-based, but it also has operations in Canada and Mexico, helping it serve customers across North America. Recent developments have been constructive: in first-quarter 2026, Nucor reported net earnings of $743 million and sales of $9.50 billion, and management highlighted a quarterly shipment record in the steel mills segment. In February 2026, the board increased the quarterly dividend and approved a new $4.0 billion share repurchase authorization, underscoring a disciplined capital-return framework. For investors in French-speaking markets, Nucor stands out as a high-quality industrial franchise with strong competitive moats, but one that remains exposed to the inherent cyclicality of the U.S. steel market.
