FORT WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) today provided third quarter 2024 earnings guidance in the range of $1.94 to $1.98 per diluted share. Comparatively, the company's sequential second quarter 2024 earnings were $2.72 per diluted share, and prior year third quarter earnings were $3.47 per diluted share.
Third quarter 2024 profitability from the company's steel operations is expected to be meaningfully lower than sequential second quarter results, based on lower average realized pricing within the flat rolled operations as generally 80 percent of this business is contractually based and tied to lagging pricing indices. Flat rolled steel prices stabilized in the third quarter 2024 and have improved. Underlying steel demand remains steady.
