Where NUE stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the September 1, 2026 close, NUE finished 15.12% above its 150-day moving average ($216.85) and 22.95% above its 200-day moving average ($203.05). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is NUE overbought or oversold?
At the September 1, 2026 close, NUE's RSI(14) was 29.9, in oversold territory (below 30). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, NUE has $2.69B in cash with $7.10B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. 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.
A beta of 1.88 means NUE is more volatile than average. Investors should be prepared for wider price swings relative to broader indices. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence Nucor Corporation's trajectory.
