India is considering imposing import duties on select U.S. products to counter Washington&#8217;s 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, according to a document submitted to the World Trade Organization on Monday.
The filing stated these U.S. measures affect $7.6 billion worth of Indian exports but didn&#8217;t specify which American products might face retaliatory duties, Reuters reported.
The move follows the U.S. reimposition of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43592144/us-steel-aluminum-stocks-rally-as-trump-revives-25-tariff-plan">steel and aluminum tariffs in March</a>, extending policies first implemented during President Donald Trump&#8216;s first term in 2018.
Trump&#8217;s administration has also threatened additional 26% reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods. The two nations are currently negotiating a trade deal, with India reportedly offering to reduce its tariff gap with the U.S. by two-thirds.

Shares of metals stocks are trading higher amid overall market strength after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A decrease of trade tensions could reduce demand uncertainty for base metals.

'India Offers Zero-for-Zero Tariffs on Auto Parts, Steel From US'- Bloomberg

Wall Street rose modestly by midday Tuesday, as investors weighed the latest developments in trade negotiations and awaited a wave of key economic data and corporate earnings set for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45072497/us-trade-deficit-explodes-to-record-162-billion-in-march-as-import-frenzy-precedes-trumps-tariff-barrage">release later this week.</a>
President Donald Trump is <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-automakers-factories-relief-25a400c98e02c01c8c54502384e267e1">expected</a> to unveil a new executive order on auto tariffs later today. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent added that the administration is pursuing bilateral trade agreements with 17 major partners, excluding China.
The S&amp;P 500 climbed 0.4%, putting it on track for a sixth consecutive gain—its longest winning streak since November 2024.
In the bond market, U.S. Treasuries extended their rally, with yields falling for a sixth straight session. The yield on the 10-year benchmark dropped to 4.17%, marking a two-week low.
Gold prices slipped 0.6% to $3,325 per ounce, while WTI crude oil futures fell 2.4% to $60 per barrel, the lowest level in two weeks. Oil prices are under pressure from escalating global trade tensions and weaker U.S. economic data, and crude is now on track for a 15% decline in April—its steepest monthly drop since 2021.
Bitcoin traded little changed, around $95,000.

Stocks Surge And Bond Yields Fall For 6th Day, Oil Prices Drop To $60: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

In the current session, Nucor Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) is trading at $114.38, after a 1.88% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 4.42%, and in the past year, by 32.19%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745935236_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Nucor P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 47.68 in the Metals &amp; Mining industry, Nucor Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 13.78. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745935236_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

P/E Ratio Insights for Nucor

The company recently reported that it has 5.86 million shares sold short, which is 3.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745935216_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Nucor has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Nucor's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Nucor's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.97%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Do Investors Really Feel About Nucor?

Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) reported first-quarter financial results after the market close on Monday. Here&#8217;s what you need to know <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45053335/nucor-reports-results-for-the-first-quarter-of-2025">from the report</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q1 Revenue: $7.83 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $7.23 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q1 Adjusted EPS: 77 cents, versus estimates of 64 cents</li>
</ul>
Total revenue was down 4% on a year-over-year basis. The steel manufacturer said it shipped approximately 6.83 million tons to outside customers during the quarter. Average sales price per ton decreased&nbsp;12%&nbsp;year-over-year, while total steel mill shipments increased 10% year-over-year.
Nucor repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares at an average price of $133.17 per share in the quarter. The steel company had $806 million remaining on its buyback as of April 5. Nucor ended the quarter with $4.06 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand.&nbsp;
&#8220;Despite recent financial market volatility, Nucor is seeing solid demand for the steel and steel products we manufacture. Our healthy balance sheet and diverse product portfolio position us well, even in uncertain times,&#8221; said&nbsp;Leon Topalian, chair, president and CEO of Nucor.

Outlook: Nucor expects second-quarter earnings to increase across all three operating segments (steel mills, steel products and raw materials) compared to the first quarter. 
The stock reaction is somewhat muted, likely due to the company already reporting preliminary results for the quarter in March. Executives will further discuss the quarter on a call with investors and analysts Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. ET.
NUE Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/nue" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nucor shares</a> were up 1.02% after-hours, trading at $117.76 at the time of publication Monday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nucor's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

Shares of metals stocks are trading lower, pulling back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement. The sector has been volatile amid trade war concerns.

CNBC host Jim Cramer cheered President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44725016/us-steel-stock-tumbles-as-trump-says-we-dont-want-to-see-it-go-to-japan">latest comments</a> on the long-pending acquisition of United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) by Nippon Steel Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NPSCY#OTC">NPSCY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NISTF#OTC">NISTF</a>)
Cramer took to X, stating that it was a &#8216;Smart move blocking Nippon Dumper Steel deal,&#8217; referring to the President&#8217;s statement that signaled his reluctance to give a go-ahead to the $15 billion deal.

What Happened: During a press meeting at the Oval Office on Wednesday night, Trump emphasized the importance of United States Steel for American industry, referring to it as &#8220;a very special company,&#8221; before adding &#8220;we don&#8217;t want it to go to Japan or any other place,&#8221; casting fresh uncertainty on the future of this deal.
This comes just days after Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/04/44679320/us-steel-gains-16-as-trump-orders-review-of-nippon-steels-blocked-acquisition-amid-national-security-concerns">ordered another review</a> of the blocked acquisition when the Committee On Foreign Investment In The United States was given 45 days to submit its recommendations.

Why It Matters: The deal was blocked by the Biden Administration in January, citing national security issues, but Cramer&#8217;s opposition to it largely centers on the adverse impact it has on other U.S. steel companies, particularly the likes of Nucor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), the largest steel-maker in the U.S, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jim-cramer-nucor-nue-sell-142005180.html">reported</a> Yahoo Finance via Insider Monkey
In his Wednesday X post, Cramer refers to the Japanese giant &#8220;Nippon Dumper Steel&#8221; calling out its serial steel dumping activities in the United States. Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-18/commerce-slaps-tariffs-on-nippon-steel-amid-anti-import-promise">reported</a> that the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed tariffs on the Japanese steel giant last year.
Price Action: Shares of US Steel plunged nearly 11% to $40.19 in after-hours trading, following a 2.5% gain to $45.14 during the regular session. Meanwhile, Nippon Steel has been rallying since Thursday morning in Tokyo, climbing over 5% at the time of writing.

Cramer Praises Trump For Pushback On Nippon 'Dumper' Steel, Calls The Block A 'Smart Move'

Shares of metals companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Stocks plummeted by more than 10% last week after President Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44653029/trump-tariffs-trigger-wall-street-bloodbath-sp-500-notches-worst-weekly-drop-since-2020">unveiled his new ‘reciprocal' tariff chart</a>, with some heavy importers like Kohl's, Five Below, and Wayfair falling more than 20% on the day. 
It was the worst two days for stocks since March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit the markets and panic reigned. Investors are left looking for safe havens, with gold and consumer staples, for example, both outperforming the markets in the last couple of weeks.
Dividend-paying stocks are another option. Not only can they protect your investment while you sit out this market drama &#8211; they can pay you while you wait. But it&#8217;s important to be careful when picking dividend stocks because there can be some pitfalls.
Today, let&#8217;s look at five stocks paying stable dividends in sectors that often outperform during drawdowns or economic turbulence.
Investors often look to safe harbors like dividend-paying stocks in times of uncertainty, but there's more to a dividend than just a high yield. You must be cautious when picking stocks for income because not all 5% yielding stocks are equal. One key factor is the dividend payout rate, or DPR. The DPR is the ratio of earnings a company uses to fund its dividend payout. For example, if a company has an 85% DPR, that means 85% of the company's earnings go toward satisfying the dividend. Naturally, companies with lower DPRs have more space to raise payouts in the future, and that's what income-seeking investors want most.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Procter and Gamble Inc.</h2>
Consumer staples are a popular pick for defensive investing. Procter and Gamble (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>) not only sells essentials with inelastic demand but is one of the strongest dividend-paying stocks on the market. PG belongs to a prestigious club known as the Dividend Aristocrats, which are large-cap companies in the S&amp;P 500 with a history of raising their dividend payouts for at least 25 consecutive years. Even amongst that group, PG is an exceptional company &#8211; it's raised its dividend payout annually for 69 straight years!
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe2orpz0vqWb-hB-ju4Yx1dH60TnAlJ1AIv89ctKkCgWINp01LaC_exmbRctFiJDjut75WloTSLpqnLDMyTblxK-jWFLEi2NWypMmnEpeUjdLMwJ5JBTBULssQBqMLuJaHhfQFYsw?key=-aMtQ7aK5BCc6huT2NprmXD9" alt="" /></figure>
PG stock has a dividend yield of 2.38%, with a 5% annualized dividend growth rate over the last three years. The DPR is 64%, which may seem high, but PG resides in a low-growth sector and can utilize a more significant portion of earnings to satisfy its dividend. The company posted an 18% profit margin last quarter, superior to competitors like Colgate-Palmolive and Kimberly-Clark, along with a debt/equity ratio below 1. The stock also just triggered a technical breakout signal with the 50-day moving average crossing over the 200-day.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PepsiCo Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Another Dividend Aristocrat, PepsiCo (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), makes popular soft drinks like Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Gatorade and snack foods under the Frito-Lay brand. Over 60% of the company's manufacturing occurs in the United States, which should grant it some shelter from tariff woes. It's also raised its dividend annually for 53 straight years and currently yields 3.58%.

Pepsi's biggest competitor is Coca-Cola, another 50-year dividend booster, but Pepsi has a few advantages that put it ahead for income investors. Pepsi has a lower DPR (77% vs. 83%), higher yield (3.58% vs. 2.79%), and has grown its dividend at a faster rate over the previous three years (7.9% vs. 4.9%). The stock also trades at just 17 times forward earnings and 2.3 times sales, both better figures than Coca-Cola.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nucor Corp.&nbsp;</h2>
Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) stands to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Trump's tariffs, as the company manufactures most of its steel and iron products domestically and has had little pushback to price raises to start 2025. Nucor also has a 52-year history of raising its dividend, which currently yields 2% and has a very manageable 26.2% DPR. It's been a brutal 12 months for the company, which saw its stock cut in half from its 2024 highs. But the Relative Strength Index (RSI) just hit an Oversold trigger, so it&#8217;s worth reexamining this beaten-down name.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc0H2EzQdT942bIq6ULNxCTt4cXBsrP6CU4h58_e30id4TSZseSYefxusjJWoSkrCzI8M4OBcoQDjn8iuJSS9Qie_4kTYDekJz1gI3USZS3jBn667epLUi0ZKrd1LbHIz2BeKCNpQ?key=-aMtQ7aK5BCc6huT2NprmXD9" alt="" /></figure>
Nucor has profit margins similar to American competitors like Steel Dynamics and Reliance Steel. Still, it pays a superior yield and has an impressive 8.2% dividend growth rate over the last three years. The stock trades at 10 times forward earnings and just 0.82 times sales, and its 18% decline in the previous month could present dividend seekers with a buying opportunity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Altria Group Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Not everyone will feel comfortable investing in a company that manufactures cigarettes. But if you're looking for a dividend yield in uncertain times, Altria Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) is a stock that stands out for its strong payout and, yes, an addictive product with inelastic demand. The company distributes the Marlboro brand of tobacco, Black and Milds, and smokeless products like Skoal and Copenhagen.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcDbvtfPIp7rOpqjShbpIzhBumfGZQQZn0ZuEueO5gaMvkUNt7ZcpzuCsHAO-TQmIZVv6uNzIct9lDucTbSpXJQRbSFuWi3JlghsSHsPDPXB-WMQ9N8YdekzZW3EFE3ZRlQx7ZnSw?key=-aMtQ7aK5BCc6huT2NprmXD9" alt="" /></figure>
For Altria, 2024 was one of its best years in a decade, thanks to a 20% stock price jump and solid earnings growth. The company has profit margins of over 50% and a tiny P/E ratio at 8.8. And did we mention the dividend? MO yields a whopping 7% and has raised its payout for 56 years. Despite the impressive yield, Altria's DPR is just 62.3%, making it manageable despite the hefty obligation. MO shares also earned an 89.76 Momentum score from Benzinga Edge, a rare feat for a tobacco company.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">McKesson Corp.&nbsp;</h2>
McKesson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCK#NYSE">MCK</a>) was among the few stocks to rally during the tariff tantrum on April 2, jumping 3% and building its year-to-date gain over 25%. Healthcare stocks are another safe harbor during uncertain periods, and investors have been flocking to McKesson, which is well-positioned to continue its substantial dividend boosts.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcC7-GFFEago4CdSomH819SLSWaauJZNYHsxAY5HmfYaYfpmCFX6VXEoayinwFsfw96c06MVQFWZYwkDtoasl6GkjZyKfiIeYQcWEbdYJ8M5tjbcBWl2sh78w_fvyJjUCOzSM5c?key=-aMtQ7aK5BCc6huT2NprmXD9" alt="" /></figure>
MCK shares yield only 0.41%, but the dividend payout is $2.84 annually since the share price equals $700. While the yield seems paltry, the company has been aggressively boosting it over the last three years. Dividend growth exceeded 14% annually during the period, yet the DPR is still just 13%, giving the company plenty of room for future dividend raises. McKesson doesn't have the reputation of the Dividend Aristocrats mentioned above. Still, it does have 17 straight years of payout increases under its belt, and the stock trades at a reasonable 19.5 times forward earnings.
