$STLDPress releaseOct 19, 2026, 4:30 PM ETRead the release

Steel Dynamics reported Q3 2026 net sales of $6.5 billion and diluted EPS of $5.26, nearly double the $2.74 posted in the prior-year quarter, with net income of $756 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 billion. Steel operations drove the quarter with record shipments of 3.8 million tons, a $102 sequential increase in average selling price to $1,400 per ton, and 43% sequential operating income growth; the fabrication backlog is 50% higher than a year ago and extends into Q2 2027. The aluminum ramp is progressing with EBITDA breakeven and shrinking operating losses ($26 million, 21% better sequentially), though yields suffered briefly from a hot strip mill coolant issue now resolved.
