# Nucor: Financial & Operating Metrics Guide

Nucor reported revenue of $32.5 billion for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, net income of $1.7 billion, according to its SEC filings. Revenue grew 5.7% from the prior year.

## What Are Nucor's Key Financial Figures?

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Revenue | $32.5 billion | $30.7 billion | $34.7 billion | $41.5 billion |
| Operating income | Not reported | Not reported | Not reported | Not reported |
| Operating margin | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Net income | $1.7 billion | $2.0 billion | $4.5 billion | $7.6 billion |
| Net margin | 5.4% | 6.6% | 13.0% | 18.3% |
| Operating cash flow | $3.2 billion | $4.0 billion | $7.1 billion | $10.1 billion |
| Capital expenditures | $3.4 billion | $3.2 billion | $2.2 billion | $1.9 billion |
| Free cash flow | -$188 million | $806 million | $4.9 billion | $8.1 billion |

Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditures) was -$188 million against net income of $1.7 billion; cash generation fell short of reported earnings, which is worth reconciling in the cash flow statement.

## What Does Nucor's Balance Sheet Show?

| Cash and cash equivalents | $2.3 billion |
| --- | --- |
| Long-term debt | $6.9 billion |
| Total assets | $35.1 billion |
| Total liabilities | $13.0 billion |
| Shareholders' equity | $20.9 billion |
| Current ratio | 2.9x |

Balance sheet values are as of the end of fiscal 2025. Income statement figures describe a whole year; balance sheet figures describe a single day, so the two answer different questions.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Nucor reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001193125-26-071575 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 12, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
