20 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

NUCOR CORPORATION booked $32.5B of revenue in FY2025 in the Industrials sector and kept 11.9% of it as gross profit — a thin-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 5.4% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $16.6B (FY2007) to $32.5B (FY2025) — about 3.8% a year compounded over 18 years.

The balance sheet carried $7.1B of total debt in FY2025.

The share count fell 27.7% between FY2009 and FY2025 — management has been retiring shares, which concentrates each remaining owner's claim. Capital Discipline scores it 64/100.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.
