barrons3	Deutsche Bank's David Martin favors mini-mill operator Nucor because its production costs are lower. Nucor's stock is flat this year, at around 45, and sells for six times pretax earnings (as measured by Ebitda, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), compared with an industry multiple of seven. "Recent results have been disappointing, but some of the negative trends in pricing and high inventory costs are set to reverse," he says.	Love	October 10, 2009
barrons3	Steel tariffs? Dan DiMicco may want them and may have talked down Nucor (NUE) today, but that's not working. The stock's just ramping.	Love	September 17, 2009
barrons3	In the space, I'm watching Nucor (NUE), says Guy Adami. The company expects a third-quarter loss that’s substantially wider than Wall Street expectations yet shares made gains on Tuesday. That action really surprised me. And it’s also important to note that $49 has been resistance in this stock, he adds.	Love	September 15, 2009

barrons3	I wouldn’t chase stocks, counsels Pete Najarian. But I would look at resistance and support in Freeport (FCX) and Nucor (NUE) and create target areas for buying.	Love	September 02, 2009

barrons3	Nucor has outperformed the industry on the downside, and could outperform on the way up. Analysts think the company, which is based in Charlotte, N.C., will see results swing from a loss of 86 cents a share this year to a profit of $2.85 in 2010. That instills confidence in Nucor's $1.40-a-share payout and 3.2% dividend yield -- the highest in the steel group.	Love	July 25, 2009
barrons3	Does Nucor (NUE) really believe that the turn isn't for real?	Love	July 23, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"Nucor (NUE) declares its 145th dividend -- awesome company, just awesome." (<a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=d61f1240-3fdf-48d4-a107-9c1d00b6fffe" target="_blank">"The 10% Pullback Mob," 6-3-09</a>) ... Nucor (NUE) has offered a "hefty dividend" year after year, said Cramer. "You can bank on it." "The bottom line," he said, "is that you need great management to run a steel company." Nucor's President, Chairman and CEO Dan DiMicco "does a great job."

Stockpickr Staff	"I am worried about the steel stocks. I think Nucor has the best product profile, but I don't think it's going to do well. I'm not a buyer."

barrons3	The commodities market may soon see its share of activity. Najarian sees some hints of M&A activity with Nucor (NUE) rumored to be looking at Schnitzer (SCHN), which caused a dramatic pop in that stock, which Najarian also bought in to. In this example, the volume was more reminiscent of institutional investors, with large chunks of volume occurring throughout the day.	Love	April 22, 2009

sarah z	Nothing to say. Not much going on. Can't get any CEOs to comment. Too close to the end of the quarter. People are dismissive of Nucor (NUE - commentary - Cramer's Take), and happy with Darden (DRI - commentary - Cramer's Take). Meanwhile, Tim Geithner's been silent, and silence is golden. Now if only he would ask one simple question: What are we guaranteeing with AIG (AIG - commentary - Cramer's Take)? It's a sideshow but an important one down the road, not now. All of these things are of a piece. We are in one of those golden moments when not much is happening, and when we get information, we declare it half-full. I found myself thinking that Nucor's decline has to be some sort of a bottom because utilization rates don't get much lower than this. I found myself thinking that the infrastructure plan will kick in because everyone has now decided it will and that's all that matters. So often in my career I have had to suspend the "rigor" that got me here. Of course Karen Cramer always explained it differently. She always said that the toughest thing to do is the most rigorous, and sometimes the toughest thing to do is to stay long or buy when things aren't so good and others are fleeing. That's what this moment is like. Do I believe that Microsoft (MSFT - commentary - Cramer's Take) or Intel (INTC - commentary - Cramer's Take) is doing well? Wrong question. Do I think that Microsoft and Intel are priced for not doing well? Yes. Same with the transports. I really don't care about the near term for Union Pacific (UNP). I know that business isn't that good. But they have long-term contracts that will see them through, and the stock reflects cancellation of those contracts. So the rigorous thing is to hold, not sell. It's like that right now. The camps are dichotomous: 1. The rally is a bear-market rally, so forget it, and 2. The fundamentals stink, so forget it. I am pushing for No. 3: Forget the characterization, find something you can live with because the awful fundamentals are already priced in, and buy!	Love	March 18, 2009

barrons3	Nucor (NUE) is totally China, in the sense that China can make the worldwide steel inventories disappear with by ordering hundreds of bridges built.	Love	February 18, 2009

barrons3	The sop-up will lead to big gains in the Chevrons (CVX) and the Nucors (NUE) and make the downgrades of U.S. Steel (X) and Qualcomm (QCOM) silly given how much money China can put to work.	Love	February 12, 2009
Laurence Mailaender	More steel.	Love	February 09, 2009
RhinoStocks	Bulls couldn’t push this stock past its 200-day moving average in the past, and now it’s coming back to that same level. Fitzpatrick noted that there’s around $3.55 between its current price and resistance, but warned that downside risk is higher. “You don’t want it now,” he said. “If you can get in at $38, awesome. If you can get in at $36, even better.”	Love	February 02, 2009
