Description & usage

Steel Dynamics produces steel primarily via electric-arc furnaces and pairs it with downstream/value-added operations that can soften pure cycle volatility. Steel pricing and utilization are central, but scrap and energy costs—and the share of higher-value products—often decide the margin outcome. Investors tend to focus on spreads, industry capacity shifts and demand from construction, industrial and infrastructure end markets.
