Outlook: Nucor expects second-quarter earnings to increase across all three operating segments (steel mills, steel products and raw materials) compared to the first quarter.

The stock reaction is somewhat muted, likely due to the company already reporting preliminary results for the quarter in March. Executives will further discuss the quarter on a call with investors and analysts Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. ET.

NUE Price Action: Nucor shares were up 1.02% after-hours, trading at $117.76 at the time of publication Monday, per Benzinga Pro.
