On August 24, Nucor rose 4.44% in regular trading, trading at $257.13/share, with turnover of $34.27 million. The steel sector rallied broadly, with Cleveland-Cliffs up 9.23%, Steel Dynamics up 6.47%, Reliance Steel & Aluminum up 3.34%, ArcelorMittal up 1.95%, and Vale up 1.65%.

On the news front, reports indicated that the US plans to double steel import tariffs to 50%, providing a significant tailwind to domestic steelmakers. The sector-wide surge also reflects a strong recovery from the selloff on August 20, when Berkshire Hathaway's 13F filing revealed it had cut its Nucor position by more than half in Q2 following a roughly 39% reduction in Q1, which had pressured sentiment. Multiple analysts maintain overweight ratings on Nucor, with a consensus mean price target of $286.27, well above current levels. Wells Fargo adjusted its target to $285 from $297 while maintaining its overweight stance.
