  • Consolidated net sales rose 8% quarter-over-quarter to $11.25 billion and 32% year-over-year to $11.25 billion; net earnings increased to $1.32 billion ($5.80 per diluted share), up from $1.16 billion in Q2 2026 and $607 million in Q3 2025.
  • Fourth quarter 2026 earnings are expected to be generally in-line with or modestly higher than the third quarter, driven by stable earnings in Steel Mills and Steel Products segments offset by slightly lower earnings in Raw Materials.
