Steel Dynamics has provided Q3 2025 earnings guidance of $2.60-$2.64 per diluted share, with improved earnings from its steel, metals recycling, and steel fabrication operations. The company expects stronger profitability from its steel operations due to declining scrap costs and strong demand from the non-residential construction, automotive, energy, and industrial sectors. Earnings from its metals recycling and steel fabrication operations are also expected to be higher than sequential Q2 results.
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: STLD) has provided its third-quarter 2025 earnings guidance, projecting a range of $2.60 to $2.64 per diluted share. This represents a significant improvement over the second quarter 2025 earnings of $2.01 per diluted share and a year-over-year increase from $2.05 in the third quarter of 2024 [1].The company expects stronger profitability from its steel operations, driven by robust shipments and metal spread expansion. Declining scrap costs are anticipated to outpace steel price reductions, contributing to improved earnings. The metals recycling segment is also projected to show significant improvement, with steady shipments and enhanced ferrous metal spreads. Steel fabrication operations are expected to benefit from increased volumes while maintaining steady margins [1].
Demand fundamentals remain solid across multiple sectors. Non-residential construction, automotive, energy, and industrial sectors continue to drive steel demand, while commercial, data center, manufacturing, warehouse, and healthcare sectors support the fabrication business. Longer-term catalysts from domestic manufacturing investment, onshoring trends, and U.S. infrastructure programs are also expected to positively impact demand [1].
Steel Dynamics' aluminum expansion is progressing well, with the Columbus, Mississippi mill and San Luis Potosi recycled slab center successfully commissioned. The cast houses and hot strip mill are exceeding startup performance expectations [1].
The company has repurchased $185 million (approximately 1%) of outstanding shares during the third quarter, demonstrating management's confidence in the company's financial strength and outlook. Steel Dynamics plans to release its detailed Q3 2025 earnings after the market closes on October 20, 2025, and will hold a conference call the following day to review the results [2].
