Jefferies analyst Christopher LaFemina upgraded Nucor to Buy from Hold with a price target of $170, up from $135. The company should benefit from an improving steel demand outlook and upside risk to steel prices in the U.S., as it is positioned to deliver rising volumes into a strengthening market, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Overweight

Reason

JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson raised the firm's price target on Nucor to $162 from $143 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm adjusted steel price targets ahead of the Q2 reports. It increased the targets to reflect the multiple re-rating off President Trump's "Liberation Day" lows and a higher price floor. The protectionism and national security backing from the Trump administration warrant a valuation premium for U.S. mills on higher through-cycle pricing, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Overweight

Reason

Morgan Stanley raised the firm's price target on Nucor to $149 from $134 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares after updating the firm's steel price estimates on the back of President Trump doubling the existing tariff to 50%. Domestic mills will benefit from higher prices in the near-term, but soft underlying demand and potential trade deals with allies will cap pricing and may result in a downward trend by year-end, the analyst tells investors in a note on the North American steel producer group.

Reason

BMO Capital upgraded Nucor to Outperform from Market Perform with a price target of $145, up from $140. Nucor is executing on a multi-year organic growth plan that should over time support higher through-cycle profitability and free cash flow, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes the company remains well positioned to benefit from the announced doubling of steel tariffs due to its relatively lower utilization rates and diversified product mix. The shares are trading at a "compelling" valuation, adds BMO.

Reason

JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson lowered the firm's price target on Nucor to $140 from $156 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. While steel has been excluded from reciprocal tariffs, revamped Section 232 tariffs should lend to a higher pricing floor and improved utilization, at least over time, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm cut December 2025 price targets in the steel group to reflect multiple de-rating and conservative shipment growth amid trade uncertainty and evolving recession risk.
