What Should You Expect from U.S. Steel’s 1Q18 Earnings?

1Q18 earnings season is in full swing. Last week, both Nucor (NUE) and Steel Dynamics (STLD) released their quarterly financial performance. Steel Dynamics reported revenues of $2.6 billion in 1Q18 versus $2.3 billion in 4Q17 and $2.4 billion in 1Q17. The company reported adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) of $400 million in 1Q18, compared to $285 million in 4Q17 and $421 million in 1Q17. Steel Dynamics’ 1Q18 earnings were better than expected.

Nucor’s 1Q18 earnings also beat Wall Street estimates. The company reported revenues of $5.6 billion in 1Q18. In comparison, it posted revenues of $5.1 billion in 4Q17 and $4.8 billion in 1Q17. The company posted EPS (earnings per share) of $1.10 in 1Q18. When it released its 1Q18 earnings guidance in mid-March, Nucor said it expects to post EPS of $1.00–$1.05 in 1Q18.
