Steel Dynamics expanded its capital-return plans with an additional $3.0 billion share repurchase authorization, according to RTTNews in a report published November 10. The board also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.53 per common share.

Buyback authorization adds capacity

The new authorization took effect immediately and is additive to Steel Dynamics' previous $1.5 billion program. That earlier program had $216 million remaining and available for repurchases as of September 30, according to the report.

The authorization gives the company flexibility to repurchase shares in the open market or through other permitted transactions. The board can modify, suspend, extend or end the program, and the authorization does not require Steel Dynamics to buy a specific number of shares.

Dividend sets shareholder dates

The dividend is payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2026. Payment is scheduled for on or about January 8, 2027.

Steel Dynamics stock was last quoted at 208.15 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 13:03 CET on Saturday, November 14. The quote was accompanied by a bid of 207.70 euros and an ask of 208.60 euros.
