Management maintained its guidance posture, reiterating expectations for greater than 5% volume growth in 2026. The capex outlook shifted from decreasing (prior quarter projected a drop from $3.4 billion in 2025 to approximately $2.5 billion in 2026) to stable. The West Virginia sheet mill timeline was refined with specific milestones: commercial shipments in early 2027, 50% utilization by end-2027, and full ramp-up in 2028. New regulatory detail emerged on the Section 232 tariff amendment extending the full 50% duty to derivative steel products.
