Nucor Inc.Namrata Trivedi Fall 2007
Company Overview
Incorporated in Delaware in 1958, Nucor Corp. is not only one of thelargest domestic steelmakers and the nations biggest mini-milloperator, but also the largest recycler that uses scrap steel as theprimary raw material in producing steel products. As of FY 2006, thecompany recycled over 21 million tons of scrap steel1.
Nucor has a simple, highly decentralized organizational structure,which allows room for quick decisions and innovations. For the mostpart, day-to-day operating decisions are made by the division generalmanagers and their staff. The management evaluates the operatingperformance of each of its segments based upon division contribution
and ties the performance rewards to the productivity and efficiency.The company, currently, has 11,900 employees out of which only 70employees are executive officers. The key hiring strategy is to employun-unionized labor, which ultimately benefits the company in terms ofvery little legacy costs (healthcare and pension liabilities).
Products & Markets
The revenue comes from two main segments: steel mills and steelproducts. The principal steel mills products are hot-rolled and cold-
rolled steel whereas, the principal steel products are steel joists andjoist girders, steel deck, cold finished steel, steel fasteners, metalbuilding systems and light gauge steel framing. In both, the steel milland steel products, segments, products are manufactured based oncustomer orders, and therefore customer backlog is a good indicator ofcompanys future revenue growth. The company markets theseproducts mainly through in-house sales forces. Most of these productsare commodity items and therefore Nucor competes on price point andservice. The primary factors affecting the demand for steel productsare overall growth of the economy and growth in demand for durablegoods (such as autos and construction).
In 2006, these two markets accounted for 29.1% of shipments in theU.S. market. Other markets include appliances, containers, machinery,and oil and gas, known as service centers, accounted for 21.8% ofindustry shipments in the U.S. market.2 In the FY 2006, nearly 88% ofthe net revenue came from the Steel Mills segment while

approximately 12% of the revenue came from the Steel Productssegment. Overall, during the last five years, Nucors sales have grownover 240% from $4.33 billion in 2001 to $14.75 billion in 2006. Thisgrowth has come mainly through acquisition and optimization ofexisting operations.
A major portion of the steel sales (approx. 75% in FY 2006) are madeto contract customers, which permits price adjustments to reflectchanges in prevailing raw material costs for a short period (six totwelve months). Thus, a backlog of orders is critical against fluctuatingraw material prices. As of December, 2006, in the steel mills segment,Nucors backlog of orders was approximately $2.52 billion, and in thesteel products segment, it was about $572.4 million.
Business Strategy
Nucor operates in a relatively fragmented and mature market. Theirproductivity and cost efficiency through optimized operations helpmitigate the pricing pressure. Historically, the company operated onthe basis of green-field growth and optimization of existing operations.Although the company still partly relies on green-field projects, duringrecent years, this strategy has been shifted toward obtainingprofitability and growth through acquisitions and through jointventures that leverage new technologies. Nucors strategy is toacquire a source of raw material or integrate some new technologyinto their operations. The goal is to expand in higher value-addedsheet markets. In sum, Nucors strategy to become competitive
includes introduction of new steelmaking technology and seek growththrough acquisitions and joint ventures to source one-third of its rawmaterial requirements.3 The company is leaning toward acquiring newbusiness that increases production capacity, participation indownstream steel projects, and provides resources of raw materials.The objective is to securitize against rising costs of raw materials,reduce reliance on imports, and better manage costs.

challenges in maintaining the same level of cost efficiency. Heavyimports of semi-finished steel from China have ruined the growth ofthe U.S. steel industry and its workers over the past few years. In thegiven industry scenario, Nucors recent strategy to procure about onethird of its metal feedstock may certainly impose a burden on fixed
costs and reduce profitability. However, impact of declining U.S. dollarand global oversupply may wipe off these cost savings.
Company Management
Nucors management team seems stable and strong. Many key levelexecutives have served and successful led the company for a fairlylong time. The company director Mr. Daniel R. DiMicco has been withNucor since 1992. Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and ExecutiveVice President, Terry S. Lisenby, has been with Nucor since 1985.
Nucors Executive Vice President, Mr. John J. Ferriola, has been with thecompany since 1992. It sum, the management team has successfullylead the company over a long period of time.
Summary Recommendation: Sell Some Praxair
Currently, in the PSFA portfolio, we have 20 shares of Nucor Corp.purchased on 06/06/2001 at $54.04 per share and in the DA-Davidsonportfolio, and we have 60 shares of Nucor Corp. purchased on12/31/2005 at $69.16 per share.
The DCF valuation indicates the stock is over valued by 13%.Considering the slowdown in housing, auto, and construction markets,global over capacity and imports from China, Nucors performance islikely to decline over the next few years. Moreover, Nucor is adomestic player. The company operations are limited to the U.S. andCanada markets. Until the U.S. housing and auto markets show anyimprovement (which is likely to take at least two-three years), anddemand for steel and steel products stabilizes, Nucors performancewill not improve. Therefore, I recommend that we reduce our holdingsin Nucor and use the sales proceeds to increase our holdings in Praxair.
Selling about 45 shares of Nucor should be sufficient to bring us in-linewith my recommendation.
