All the three operating segments generated robust profitability in Q3 2021. Earnings of the steel mills segment were boosted by higher realized steel prices. Higher average selling prices led to increased earnings by the steel products segment. Meantime, the raw material segment earnings were mostly flat over the sequential quarter.

Nucor expects Q4 earnings to exceed the net earnings set in Q3. The robust demand trend across most end-use markets is likely to continue in 2022 as well. While the company expects higher profitability from steel mills and steel products segments, it expects dip in earnings in raw materials segment.
