Macquarie analyst David Lipschitz upgraded Nucor to Outperform and raised its price target to $75 from $70 saying valuation does not fully reflect widening metal spreads and earnings resilience through the cycle. The analyst expects steel prices to remain elevated and said upside risk to scrap costs is capped given his cautious view on iron ore and improving domestic scrap supply. Further, Lipschitz said cash generation remains strong and management is focused on investing in long-term growth and returning cash to shareholders.

BMO Capital lowered the firm's price target on Nucor to $200 from $210 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares after its Q1 earnings miss. Following nine consecutive quarters of beating expectations, Nucor's results and outlook disappointed, while its Q2 results are also expected to moderate sequentially, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Nucor remains well-positioned to benefit from positive longer-term demand tailwinds, but its capex spending elevated, BMO adds.
