↑ 7%Jim Cramer prefers Nucor over Reliance, calling the latter "terrific" and "a very, very good company" during Mad Money's lightning round on 8 September. He previously described Reliance as "not outrageously expensive" after a sharp price increase. Reliance reported second-quarter revenue of $4.63 billion, up 26.5% year over year, with non-GAAP diluted EPS rising 41.5% to $6.27. The company expects third-quarter tons sold to decline 2% to 4% sequentially, whilst average selling price per ton should increase 1% to 3%. Nucor reported second-quarter net earnings of $1.16 billion, or $5.04 per diluted share, compared with $603 million a year earlier. The company expects higher consolidated earnings in the third quarter, driven by higher realised prices and stable steel-mill volumes. Hedge fund holdings increased at both companies during the second quarter.
Reliance Inc reported first-quarter 2026 sales of $4.03 billion and net income of $264.9 million, both higher than the previous year. The company declared a $1.25 quarterly dividend and continued share repurchases whilst guiding for a 1% to 3% sequential increase in tons sold in the second quarter, partly reflecting Department of Homeland Security border wall contract activity. The metals distributor's narrative projects $16.5 billion revenue and $1 billion earnings by 2029, with a fair value estimate of $344.38 per share. However, investors face risks from trade policy shifts and tariffs that could drive pricing and margin volatility. Community fair value estimates range widely from $123.06 to $344.38 per share, reflecting uncertainty around the company's ability to convert cyclical metal demand into steady cash generation.
Reliance Steel & Aluminium achieved record first-quarter tonnes sold, driven by strong demand in nonresidential construction, data centres and energy infrastructure, despite broader industry decline. Revenue increased 15% through higher shipments and pricing discipline. The company secured two major government contracts totalling approximately $3 billion, including a Department of Homeland Security border wall project beginning shipments in April 2026 and Joint Strike Fighter support. Management cited operational scale and domestic mill relationships as competitive advantages. Second-quarter guidance assumes demand and pricing remain healthy, though pricing momentum may normalise. However, 50% Section 232 aluminium tariffs pressure gross profit margins, and full-year LIFO expense outlook rose to $150 million from $100 million due to higher product costs. Capital expenditure is projected at $300 million for 2026.
Reliance delivered a stronger-than-expected first quarter with record tons sold, up 9.4% sequentially and average selling price up 5.3%. The company converted 15% sales growth into over 30% year-on-year growth in non-GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP earnings per share of $5.16. The company won government contracts through AMI Metals, including a $2.2 billion Department of Homeland Security border wall project, with phase one worth approximately $1.4 billion extending through the second quarter of 2027. Shipments began in April. Reliance raised its full-year LIFO outlook to $150 million after first-quarter LIFO expense of $37.5 million. The company guided second-quarter non-GAAP earnings per share of $5.15 to $5.35, whilst planning approximately $300 million in capital expenditure, raising its annual dividend to $5 and continuing share buybacks.
Reliance reported solid second quarter 2025 results, with record tons sold outperforming the industry average by 7 percentage points. The company maintained gross profit margins within its sustainable 29% to 31% range whilst achieving non-GAAP earnings per share of $4.43, up over 17% sequentially. The company generated $229 million in cash flow from operations. Its 2025 capital expenditure budget remains at $325 million, with over 50% allocated to growth projects. Total cash outlay for 2025 is expected between $360 million and $380 million. Reliance returned $143 million to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases in the quarter, having repurchased over 1.2 million shares year-to-date. The company continues pursuing acquisition opportunities that expand its geographic footprint and value-added processing capabilities.
