Nippon Steel Finalises $14.9 Billion Acquisition of US Steel

Nippon Steel has completed a $14.9 billion agreement to acquire US Steel, marking one of the most significant international deals in the steel industry in recent years.

As part of the agreement, Nippon will pay $55 per share and take on US Steel’s existing debt. The Japanese firm has also committed to investing $11 billion into US operations by 2028, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the American market.

To preserve US Steel’s identity and operations, Nippon has pledged to keep the company’s headquarters in Pittsburgh and appoint American citizens to key leadership positions. These moves are intended to ensure continuity and strengthen ties with local communities and stakeholders.

The deal, originally proposed in 2023, has drawn attention for its scale and strategic significance. While union leaders have expressed cautious optimism, United Steelworkers president David McCall emphasized that workers will remain vigilant in holding Nippon to its promises.

With this acquisition, Nippon expands its global footprint and positions itself as a major player in the evolving steel landscape.
