Needham Daniel R.

EVP Needham sells $2.9M of Nucor shares, adding to consistent selling pattern over three years.

Executive Vice President Daniel R. Needham sold approximately $2.9M in Nucor stock on a single day, disposing of more than 12,000 shares while simultaneously exercising stock options to acquire 7,739 shares at a lower price—a net reduction in his holdings. This marks his sixth and seventh open-market sale in the past three years, continuing a pattern of consistent selling with no open-market purchases in that window. His prior sales at Nucor show mixed results: at the 30-day horizon, three of his four prior exits proved well-timed as the stock declined shortly after he sold, but over longer periods, only one of four prior sales was well-timed while the stock rose after the other three. The company is profitable with solid revenue, but Needham's repeated selling—even while the stock trades only slightly below its 52-week high and has rallied meaningfully over the past quarter—suggests he views current valuations as an opportunity to reduce exposure rather than a compelling entry point for additional shares.

EVP Daniel Needham sold 3,881 NUE shares at $178.00 on 2026-01-30; stock now at $186.50, +0.0% from 52-week high

Daniel Needham, Executive Vice President, sold 3,881 shares at $178.00, reducing his holdings by 4.2% to 88,298 shares post-transaction. The stock has appreciated $8.50 since the sale (closing at $186.50 current price), placing it at the upper edge of its 52-week range. Within 30 days post-sale, NUE rose 10.1%, consistent with mixed outcomes across his four prior same-ticker sales: two showed near-term gains (June 2025: +10.6% in 30d; August 2023 outcome not yet measurable), while two showed declines (July 2024: -5.1% in 30d; August 2025: -2.2% in 30d). His cross-ticker track record shows a 33.33% well-timed rate on sells—meaningfully below 50%—suggesting inconsistent timing discipline. Fundamentally, NUE faces headwinds: annual revenue declined 11.5% year-over-year despite current quarterly revenue of $8.5B and net income of $607.0M, with a P/E of 22.02 suggesting the stock is pricing in recovery. The combination of near-peak valuation, modest position reduction, and weak historical timing precision on sales warrants monitoring of follow-on insider activity and earnings trends.

EVP Needham sells 7,200 NUE shares at $146.00; stock down 14.5% from 52-week high, annual revenue declined 11.5%.

Executive Vice President Daniel R. Needham sold 7,200 shares of Nucor at $146.00 on 2025-08-18, reducing his holdings from 99,379 to 92,179 shares. The sale occurred when Nucor's stock was trading 14.5% below its 52-week high of $167.74 and amid a backdrop of annual revenue contraction of -11.5%, suggesting the company faces cyclical or structural headwinds in a weakening steel market. Needham's cross-ticker track record shows a 100% well-timed rate on sells over 90 days (avg 90d return -8.0%), but at Nucor specifically, his prior three trades show mixed timing outcomes with only 1 of 1 measurable 90-day results being well-timed. The sale size represents a modest -7.2% reduction in his Nucor position, which is consistent with a incremental reduction rather than a sudden or panic-driven exit.

EVP Needham sells 7,088 NUE shares at $127.87 for $906.3K; stock down 22.1% from 52-week high.

Needham Daniel R., Executive Vice President, sold 7,088 shares (7.1K shares) of NUCOR CORP at $127.87 on 2025-06-24 for a total value of $906.3K, reducing his holdings from 106.5K to 99.4K shares. The sale occurred when the stock was trading -22.1% below its 52-week high of $167.74, though the price has recovered +19.4% over the prior 30 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior sales with a well-timed rate of 100.00% at the 90-day mark, and his prior NUE sale on 2024-07-31 was similarly well-timed with a 90-day return of -8.0%. The company's fundamentals show annual revenue decline of -11.5% year-over-year with a P/E of 15.42 and a current price of $130.61 against the $127.87 transaction price.

EVP Needham sells 8.6K NUE shares at $160.00; stock down 22.5% from 52-week high, revenue declining 16.4% YoY.

Needham Daniel R., Executive Vice President of Nucor, sold 8,624 shares at $160.00 on 2024-07-31 for $1,379,840.00, reducing his holdings by 8.0% to 99,048 shares. This sale occurred after the stock had already declined 22.5% from its 52-week high of $200.97, and it came amid a broader deterioration in the company's financial performance: annual revenue declined 16.4% year-over-year, and the 90-day price change stands at -10.4%. His prior sale at this same ticker in August 2023 exhibited a -10.0% 90-day return, aligning with a pattern in which his cross-ticker sell timing has been well-timed at the 90-day mark (100.00% rate). The sale's timing relative to the current depressed valuation—at a 22.5% discount to 52-week highs—and the company's revenue contraction warrant investor attention to underlying operational headwinds.
