Nucor is a steel producer that melts scrap metal into new steel products like beams, rebar, and sheet steel, selling mostly to builders and manufacturers in North America. Think of it as a recycling-based steel powerhouse.

Nucor's low-cost electric arc furnace model and scrap supply chain give it a cost edge over integrated giants like Cleveland-Cliffs and U.S. Steel, but cheap imports from Asia and fluctuating steel prices erode pricing power.
