Written by Tim Triplett
Calling 2021 “the safest and most profitable year in the company’s history,” Nucor executives sounded “a consistent drumbeat on demand” in their outlook for 2022 during their fourth-quarter conference call with analysts and investors today.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based steelmaker posted record earnings of $6.83 billion in 2021 on sales of $36.5 billion. Sixteen of its divisions had zero recordable injuries last year. “By so many measures, 2021 was an extraordinary year for Nucor,” President and CEO Leon Topalian said.
