Description: STLD Steel Dynamics
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: STLD) is a diversified U.S. steel producer and metal recycler that operates through four segments: Steel Operations, Metals Recycling Operations, Steel Fabrication Operations, and Aluminum Operations. The Steel Operations segment manufactures a broad portfolio of hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and coated steel products, as well as specialty shapes and engineered bars, serving construction, automotive, equipment, energy, and pipe-and-tube markets. The Metals Recycling segment processes both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, offering products such as heavy-melting steel, busheling, shredded scrap, aluminum, copper, and stainless steel. Steel Fabrication produces non-residential building components (e.g., joists, girders, steel deck), while the Aluminum Operations segment supplies recycled flat-rolled aluminum. The company also exports a portion of its output and has been operating since its 1993 incorporation in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Key recent metrics indicate that STLD generated approximately $9.2 billion in revenue for FY 2023, with an adjusted EBITDA margin near 13 %, reflecting strong cost control in a volatile raw-material environment. Capacity utilization across its integrated facilities averaged roughly 85 % during the same period, a level that tends to rise when construction spending and automotive production accelerate. A primary sector driver is the price of scrap metal, which accounts for a significant portion of input costs; recent upward pressure on scrap prices has compressed margins but also boosted recycling volumes as demand for secondary steel remains robust.
