</div>
<h3>Segment Highlights</h3>
Flat-Rolled: The segment recorded a profit of $183 million in the reported quarter, down around 21% from the year-ago quarter.
Steel shipments in the segment went down roughly 9% year over year to 2,045,000 tons. The average realized price per ton in the unit was $1,051, down around 3% year over year. It was below our estimate of $1,056.
Mini Mill: The segment recorded a profit of $28 million in the quarter, down around 79% year over year. Shipments were 562,000 tons, down around 4% year over year. The average realized price per ton was $869, down around 14% year over year. It was above our estimate of $798.
U.S. Steel Europe: The segment posted a loss of $10 million in the reported quarter. This compares to a profit of $72 million a year ago. Shipments fell roughly 15% year over year to 875,000 tons. The average realized price per ton for the unit was $821, down around 15% year over year. It was below our estimate of $829.
Tubular:&nbsp; The segment posted a profit of $29 million in the reported quarter, down roughly 82% year over year. Shipments fell roughly 2% to 109,000 tons. The average realized price per ton for the unit was $2,108, down nearly 40% year over year. It was above our estimate of $2,004.
<h3>Financials</h3>
At the end of the quarter, the company&#39;s cash and cash equivalents were $2,031 million, down around 9% from the previous quarter&#39;s levels. Long-term debt was $4,078 million, flat sequentially.
<h3>Outlook</h3>
Moving ahead, X expects adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter in the band of $275-$325 million factoring in recent pricing dynamics, which continues to impact its business. It expects the results in the North American Flat-Rolled segment to soften modestly as reduced spot prices more than offset continued strength in contract order book and lower spending. In the Mini Mill segment, X sees results to reflect lower spot prices and $30 million of associated start-up and one-time construction costs ahead of the planned start-up of Big River 2 in the fourth quarter.
The results in the Europe unit are forecast to be consistent with the second quarter as lower selling prices are largely offset by reduced raw material costs. The company expects lower results in the Tubular segment in the third quarter due to reduced selling prices.
Moreover, U.S. Steel continues to progress toward completing the transaction with Nippon Steel Corporation later this year.
<h3>Price Performance</h3>
The company&#39;s shares have rallied 67.6% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 12.6% decline.

U.S. Steel's Earnings and Revenues Surpass Estimates in Q2

DuPont de Nemours, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dd#NYSE">DD</a>) registered a profit from continuing operations of $176 million or 40 cents per share in the second quarter of 2024. In the year-ago quarter, the company recorded a profit of $269 million or 55 cents per share.
Barring one-time items, earnings came in at 97 cents per share in the reported quarter, topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 85 cents.
DuPont&#39;s net sales reached $3,171 million, marking a 2% year-over-year increase and surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,035.8 million. Organic sales remained flat in the quarter, as a 2% increase in volume was counterbalanced by a 2% decrease in price.
The rise in volume was primarily driven by broad-based growth in the electronics sector. However, this was partially offset by year-over-year declines in industrial businesses, particularly in Water Solutions in China and medical packaging within Safety Solutions.

<h3>Segment Highlights</h3>
The company&#39;s Electronics &amp; Industrial segment reported net sales of $1,508 million in the quarter, a 15% year-over-year increase, surpassing our estimate of $1,408.4 million. Organic sales grew 8%, driven by a 10% rise in volume, which was partially offset by a 2% decrease in price.
Semiconductor Technologies saw a more than 20% increase in organic sales, fueled by continued recovery in semiconductor demand, advancements in AI-driven technology and higher volumes for OLED materials due to new product launches. Interconnect Solutions experienced low-teens growth in organic sales, with mid-teens volume gains reflecting a broad-based recovery in consumer electronics. Industrial Solutions faced a low-double-digit decline in organic sales, primarily due to ongoing channel inventory destocking in the Kalrez and biopharma markets.
The Water &amp; Protection unit recorded net sales of $1,391 million, a 7% decrease from the previous year, surpassing our estimate of $1,359.5 million. The decline was due to a 6% drop in organic sales and a 1% currency headwind, with organic sales reflecting a 4% decrease in volume and a 2% decrease in price.
Safety Solutions saw high-single-digit declines in organic sales, mainly due to volume reductions and continued channel inventory destocking for medical packaging products. Water Solutions also experienced high-single-digit declines in organic sales, driven by lower volumes from distributor inventory destocking in China. Conversely, Shelter Solutions achieved low-single-digit growth in organic sales, supported by improved demand in construction markets compared to the prior year.
<h3>Financials</h3>
DuPont had cash and cash equivalents of $1,503 million at the end of the quarter, down around 70% year over year. Long-term debt was $7,168 million, down about 7.8% year over year.
