Summary · why it matters

Steel Dynamics expects third-quarter 2026 earnings of $5.34-$5.38 per share, well above the $3.69 it reported in the second quarter and the $2.74 it posted in the year-ago quarter. The company said stronger steel metal margins, record shipments, higher realized selling prices and lower scrap costs are projected to drive the significant sequential improvement in steel operations profitability, with healthy order activity, solid end-market demand and low customer inventories also supporting pricing conditions. Steel fabrication earnings are expected to improve modestly on higher shipments despite narrower metal spreads, and the backlog is nearly 50% above prior-year levels and extends through the first quarter of 2027, supported by demand from commercial construction, data centers, manufacturing and healthcare. Metals recycling earnings are expected to decline sequentially on lower metal spreads and slightly weaker shipments, while aluminum earnings are expected to improve meaningfully on higher shipments as the company advances its Columbus, MS aluminum flat rolled mill, where all three cold mills are operational and the first Continuous Annealing and Solution Heat line is expected to ship commercial material in the fourth quarter. Steel Dynamics has repurchased $261 million, or just under 1% of its common stock, so far in the third quarter, and is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results after market close on Oct. 19, 2026.

Prysmian and Rio Tinto Cables Using ELYSIS Aluminum Headed to Amazon Data Center

Prysmian and Rio Tinto announced that electrical cables made with ELYSIS aluminum have been contracted for installation at an Amazon data center near Columbus, Ohio, marking the first known use of inert-anode-smelted, low-carbon aluminum in a data center. ELYSIS technology produces aluminum with no direct greenhouse gas emissions from the smelting process, emitting oxygen instead. The cables are manufactured and shipped from Prysmian's Sedalia, Missouri factory, with Wesco handling distribution. The companies had previously introduced ELYSIS aluminum in building wire in March 2026. All aluminum Rio Tinto supplied for the cables was produced in Quebec, Canada, using hydropower. Prysmian aims to become Net Zero by 2035 and targets 55% of revenues from sustainability-linked solutions by 2028.

Glencore Executive Urged Radiant World to 'Say Nothing on Email'

A suspended senior Glencore Plc executive urged counterparts at Radiant World not to communicate by email, according to WhatsApp messages seen by Bloomberg News. Peter Hill, Glencore's head of iron ore, wrote "Say nothing on email" in one WhatsApp message in early April 2025, and in other messages dating from 2023 to 2025 highlighted Glencore's role as an important backer of the Radiant World group of companies while suggesting he was the ultimate decision maker for various aspects of Radiant World's trading. Hill was suspended from his duties pending the outcome of a review into Glencore's dealings with Radiant World. The messages raise questions about the depth of Glencore's involvement with the Radiant World network, a relationship that has ended in acrimony in recent weeks with Glencore publicly accusing the Radiant World group of fraud while Radiant World, Sapphire Minmetals and several related companies filed a $2 billion lawsuit against Glencore in Singapore this week. Glencore has cut ties with the group and taken a $480 million provision on its outstanding exposure to it, which includes Sapphire Minmetals, a closely connected but legally separate trading company; Radiant World has denied wrongdoing.
