In May, Nucor Corporation NUE was downgraded by Bank of America to Underperform.
Analyst Timna Tanners said Nucor will likely be one of the first victims of what she calls a “steelmageddon” supply glut that will persist through 2021. As a result of oversupply concerns, Bank of America cut its 2022 benchmark hot rolled coil steel price forecast from $590/ton to just $475/ton.
U.S. Steel traded higher by 4.5% at $15.24 in Wednesday's pre-market session.
