On August 21, Steel Dynamics fell 5.04% in regular trading, trading at $219.12/share, with turnover of $455 million.
On the news front, the steel sector faced broad-based selling pressure after Berkshire Hathaway's latest Q2 13F filing revealed consecutive two-quarter reductions in its Nucor position — having cut approximately 39% in Q1, the conglomerate slashed more than half of its remaining stake in Q2. The sustained institutional selling weighed heavily on market sentiment across the steel industry, triggering sector-wide declines.
Steel Dynamics was caught in the sector downdraft alongside peers. Within the Steel & Iron sector, Vale SA rose 2.37%, while Nucor fell 3.3%, Cleveland-Cliffs fell 3.72%, Reliance Steel & Aluminum fell 4.48%, and ArcelorMittal fell 4.65%. The sector linkage effect amplified the decline for Steel Dynamics despite the company's strong Q2 results reported in July, where EPS rose 84.58% year-over-year to $3.71 and revenue reached $6.09 billion.
