Nucor To Surpass Its Previous Quarterly Earnings Record In Q2

(RTTNews) - Nucor Corporation (NUE) said it expects second quarter earnings to be in the range of $8.75 to $8.85 per share. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect the company to report profit per share of $8.10. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.
