Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.
Cleveland-Cliffs shares are in an upswing, with 6–12 month price performance materially above recent lows and supported by bullish technical signals. At the same time, fundamentals show persistent losses, negative free cash flow, and elevated leverage, creating a contrast between price momentum and underlying financial quality. Valuation multiples on sales and book value appear moderate, but negative earnings, weak cash generation, and notable short interest introduce ongoing risk.

Is Cleveland-Cliffs Stock a Steal Buy After Falling Off the Cliff This Week?
Cleveland-Cliffs stock plunged 32.5% after reporting a $1.4 billion net loss for 2025, driven by weak automotive demand and an unprofitable steel slab contract with ArcelorMittal USA. However, management projects a strong 2026 recovery as automotive volumes recover, steel prices surge to two-year highs, and Canadian import restrictions benefit its Stelco subsidiary. The stock may represent a turnaround opportunity despite near-term challenges.
