Steel Dynamics Q2 Revenue Falls Short

Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ:STLD), a major U.S. steel producer with operations spanning steelmaking, metals recycling, and fabrication, released its second-quarter results on July 21, 2025. The biggest news: the company missed Wall Street estimates, posting GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $2.01 (versus a $2.24 consensus) and GAAP revenue of $4.60 billion ($4.72 billion was expected) in Q2 2025. Year over year, both revenue and profits declined. Still, the company achieved stronger profits than last quarter, supported by improved steel margins and order backlogs. Sequential gains and the first shipment from its new aluminum platform stood out, even as some pockets—like steel fabrication and startup aluminum costs—reflected continued margin pressure and higher expenses.
