Steel Dynamics Fabrication Backlog Surges as Data Center Demand Builds

Dow Jones07-21 04:42

Customer order activity has strengthened since late 2025, pushing Steel Dynamics's order backlog nearly 45% above year-ago levels and extending into the first quarter of 2027, the company says. Demand is rising across commercial construction, data centers, manufacturing, warehousing, and healthcare. What's more, accelerating domestic manufacturing investments and reshoring activity, coupled with funding from the U.S. infrastructure program, are expected to provide meaningful support for demand across Steel Dynamic's product portfolio, including steel joists and deck products, as well as flat-rolled and long-product steel.
