周一盘后交易时段，美国最大的钢铁生产商纽柯钢铁（Nucor Corporation，股票代码：NUE）股价大幅下跌5.09%。这一显著跌幅主要源于公司发布的第二季度财报结果喜忧参半，以及对未来盈利的谨慎展望。
纽柯钢铁公布的第二季度调整后每股收益为2.65美元，略高于分析师平均预期的2.66美元。然而，公司第二季度营收为84.6亿美元，虽同比增长4.7%，但未能达到市场预期的85.4亿美元。值得注意的是，公司第二季度每股收益为2.60美元，低于去年同期的2.68美元，这主要是由于原材料成本上升给公司的炼钢部门带来了压力。
更令投资者担忧的是，纽柯钢铁预计第三季度盈利将"略低于"第二季度，主要原因是钢铁厂板块盈利下降。公司特别提到预计钢铁厂板块将面临利润率压缩，尽管积压订单仍然强劲且需求稳定。这一谨慎展望无疑加剧了投资者的忧虑，导致股价在盘后交易中大幅下挫。尽管如此，公司仍维持了其在北美钢铁行业最强的信用评级，第二季度末持有24.8亿美元现金及现金等价物和短期投资，显示出较强的财务实力。
