Nucor President Stephen Laxton Withholds 6,668 Shares for Taxes

What Happened

Stephen D. Laxton, President and COO of Nucor Corporation (NUE), had a total of 6,668 shares withheld to cover tax liabilities tied to previously awarded restricted stock units. The withholdings occurred on 2026-06-01 in three lots: 3,048 shares at $250.00 each ($762,000), 2,401 shares at $250.00 ($600,250), and 1,219 shares at $250.00 ($304,750) — total value ~$1,667,000.
On the same date he was reported as receiving new awards: 3,528 shares issued (A) and 4,607 restricted stock units (A, derivative). The RSUs are zero-dollar awards representing the right to receive one share per unit; the 4,607 units vest in three annual installments beginning June 1, 2027 (with usual acceleration provisions).

Context

The disposals were tax-withholding transactions (code F), not open-market sales — a routine administrative step when RSUs vest. The new RSU awards are compensatory and will convert to common stock only as they vest. Such tax withholding does not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s market view.
