Is NUE overbought or oversold?
At the October 20, 2026 close, NUE's RSI(14) was 78.3, in overbought territory (above 70). The MACD histogram was positive, so short-term momentum leaned bullish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
The company holds $2.69B in cash, though total debt stands at $7.10B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. The company generates $683.4M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. ROE of 14.5% points to decent capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. An ROA of 7.3% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has pulled back from $41.51B (2022) to $32.49B (2025), a 22% decline worth watching.
With a beta above 1.5, NUE tends to amplify broader market moves — both up and down. This higher volatility means larger price swings are common. Understanding these risk dimensions helps frame what to watch going forward as conditions evolve for Nucor Corporation and its sector.
