Nucor stock dividends

Nucor dividend payout ratio: 30.9% of net profits

Recently Nucor has paid out, on average, around 30.9% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.38% 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 1.38% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Nucor's case, that would currently equate to about $2.20 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 November 10, 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by September 30, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Nucor stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for Nucor stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• Nucor's P/E ratio

  Nucor's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 21x. In other words, Nucor shares trade at around 21 times 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 (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 0.75. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in Nucor's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Nucor's EBITDA

  Nucor's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $4 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

Has Nucor stock ever split?

Nucor's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on May 31, 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.

How volatile is Nucor stock?

Over the last 12 months, Nucor's stocks price has ranged from $96.79 to as high as $159.95. Nucor's beta measurement of stock volatility is 1.87. For comparison, the market () average beta is 1. 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).

Some analysists use "beta" to gauge a stock's volatility. Beta is a popular way to measure a stocks volatility in relation to the market. Here is a breakdown of Nucor's beta stock volatility rating.
