That is the trend. The next exhibit is the level.

Normalized SG&A · % of revenue · 8 US-GAAP Steel peers

What "normalized" means. Reported SG&A less the disclosed advertising and R&D lines (SEC XBRL). Restructuring and stock-based compensation are benchmarked in Exhibit 3 but not stripped. What remains is the residual overhead line, on the same footing for all 8 peers. Every adjustment traceable to the 10-K. Each bar is one peer.

Nucor Corporation SG&A versus peers, in text

Nucor Corporation (NUE) reports revenue of $32,494 million. On a normalized basis its SG&A runs 3.8% of revenue, against a median of 8.1% across 7 Steel peers; 7 of the 7 run heavier. Reported SG&A less the disclosed lines that distort comparison: advertising, R&D, pension, stock-based compensation, restructuring and one-time items, plus logistics reclassed where filers park it in SG&A.

Disclosed lines held outside the normalized figure: Stock-based comp 0.4% of revenue (6 of 8 companies disclose it).

Over 5 years (FY2020 to FY2025), Nucor Corporation's total shareholder return was +231% against +434% for the peer composite; SG&A contributed +72.1 points of that return.
