Is Nucor stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Nucor stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Nucor's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Nucor's P/E ratio
Nucor's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, Nucor shares trade at around 22x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.
Nucor's PEG ratio
Nucor's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.75. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Nucor's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Nucor's EBITDA
Nucor's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.5 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Nucor's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Nucor's environmental, social and governance track record
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Nucor.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Nucor's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 38.15
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Nucor's overall score of 38.15 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 81st percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Nucor is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Nucor's environmental score
Environmental score: 16.03/100
Nucor's environmental score of 16.03 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Nucor is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Nucor's social score
Social score: 12.79/100
Nucor's social score of 12.79 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Nucor is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Nucor's governance score
Governance score: 10.82/100
Nucor's governance score puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Nucor is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Nucor's controversy score
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Nucor scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Nucor hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.

Nucor stock dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 35.97% of net profits
Recently Nucor has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Nucor shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Nucor's case, that would currently equate to about $2.18 per share.
While Nucor's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Nucor may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Nucor's most recent dividend payout was on 11 May 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 30 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Nucor's stocks ever split?
Nucor's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 31 May 2006 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Nucor stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Nucor stocks, which in turn could have impacted Nucor's stock price.
Nucor stock price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Nucor's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $97.59 up to $173.7232. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."
Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Nucor's is 1.68. This would suggest that Nucor's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
