Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. демонстрирует значительные проблемы с эффективностью, отражённые в нулевых показателях ROE, ROA и EPS, что значительно ниже медианных значений по отрасли. Высокое значение соотношения долга к капиталу (1.41) также указывает на чрезмерную долговую нагрузку, что является негативным фактором. Несмотря на довольно высокую выручку, наблюдается снижение чистой прибыли и операционного дохода, что указывает на плохую рентабельность. Дивидендная доходность остается на умеренном уровне, что может поддерживать интерес инвесторов, однако отсутствие роста в других ключевых показателях вызывает обеспокоенность. В то же время, значительное увеличение активов и чистой стоимости компании может указывать на потенциальную недооцененность. Однако, в целом, текущая фундаментальная картина указывает на необходимость осторожности при оценке будущего роста и устойчивости компании.

After Hours Most Active for Apr 29, 2026 : NVDA, WMT, AAPL, PFE, AMZN, WFC, INTC, NOK, CLF, SATS, KO, VICI

Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:CLF), a steel producer offering hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and coated products in the U.S. and Canada, closed Monday at $10.62, up 8.86%. The stock moved higher after investors digested last week’s first-quarter results that modestly beat revenue expectations and showed a narrower loss. Domestic steel sector stocks will continue reporting first-quarter results this week.
Trading volume reached 41.9 million shares, coming in about 123% above its three-month average of 18.8 million shares. Cleveland-Cliffs IPO'd in 1987 and has grown 518% since going public.
How the markets moved today
The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) inched up 0.12% to 7,174, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) added 0.20% to finish at 24,887. Among steel industry peers, Nucor (NYSE:NUE) closed at $215.05, up 0.35%, and Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ:STLD) finished at $225.04, down 0.77%, underscoring mixed sentiment across producers.
What this means for investors
Investors are watching steel sector earnings to assess fundamental company strength in a strong demand and pricing environment. Cleveland-Cliffs shares initially dropped after its Q1 report last week as investors focused on a net loss exacerbated by one-time energy costs.
Amid a strong steel market, however, Cliffs shipments and revenue increased. Investors looking toward future results are now reacting to peers Steel Dynamics and Nucor confirming strong order book demand and pricing. That should also translate into improved earnings for Cleveland-Cliffs.
Investors should hone in on automotive demand, specifically, as it drives more business for Cliffs than its peers. The company cited that as a headwind in Q1.

Key Points
Steel Dynamics reported record quarterly shipments.
The company took advantage of a strong pricing environment.
Another big domestic steel company reports next week.
Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ: STLD) kicked off earnings season in the steel sector with a bang. The company reported record shipments, driven by high mill utilization rates. Investors took note and drove shares higher.
As of early Friday trading, Steel Dynamics (SDI) stock had jumped 10.6% this week, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. That's quite a move for a stodgy steel stock.

Momentum in steel
SDI's record shipments led to an 84% increase in net income compared with last year. CEO Mark Millett noted, "The improvement in earnings was driven by record steel shipments combined with higher steel prices." Demand remains strong even amid strong pricing. Yet not every steel company is taking advantage of this environment.
Cleveland-Cliffs also reported earnings this week, but its CEO, Lourenco Goncalves, said that his company faced unfavorable pricing due to lags from contract business, and high energy prices also impacted the quarter.
Another big domestic player will report earnings next week. Nucor should mirror SDI's view on demand, pricing, and the strength of its order book. Those trends are supported by steel trade actions, manufacturing growth, and infrastructure initiatives. If Nucor instead highlights headwinds, investors can expect even more capital to flow into SDI stock.

Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) Q1 2026 Earnings Transcript

We start a new trading week with Friday’s hopefulness about fruitful peace talks with Iran hitting the rocks this morning. A scheduled meeting in Islamabad this week between the two warring factions is now off, following the weekend seizure of an Iranian oil vessel attempting to broach the U.S. blockade outside the Strait of Hormuz.
Peace talks are obviously key to getting the Strait opened again, and the longer it remains closed, the more global supply is choked off and all oil-based products — not just gasoline — will come with even-higher price tags. Iran’s strategy all along has been to attack the economies of the West, while a vast array of approaches have thus far been employed by the Trump administration.
Analysts are considering the near-term timeline currently: the cease-fire reached between the U.S. and Iran is due to expire tomorrow night, and with animosities apparently climbing again, it remains to be seen if another extension can be wrangled. As a result, pre-market futures are weaker this morning: the Dow is -225 points, -0.45%, the S&P 500 is -31, -0.44%, the Nasdaq -113 points, -0.42% and the small-cap Russell 2000 is -22 points, -0.81%.
Economic Reports Expected This Week
Aside from the ongoing real-life saga in the Middle East, we have plenty of other grist for the mill this week: Tuesday brings us Retail Sales and Pending Home Sales results for March, and Business Inventories for February. Thursday has Weekly Jobless Claims and S&P flash PMI in Services and Manufacturing for April, and Friday is April Consumer Sentiment results.
While important, these metrics are unlikely to move the needle in terms of equity-market conduct this week, especially relative to developments in and around Iran. We’re still a week and a half away from the Fed’s preferred gauge of inflation, Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), which happens to come a day after what will likely be the final Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting under the helm of Fed Chair Jerome Powell. And we’ll next see a new “Jobs Week” two weeks from now.
Cleveland-Cliffs Beats Q1 Estimates
American steel producer Cleveland-Cliffs CLF reported better-than-expected results in its Q1 report this morning, with a bottom-line loss of -$0.40 per share coming in 4 cents better than the Zacks consensus. Revenues of $4.92 billion in the quarter was +1.8% ahead of projections, and nicely up from the $4.63 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Shipments grew +9% in the quarter, but expected energy price headwinds are expected going forward.
Earnings Reports for This Week
A close second-place to Middle East events this week will be the start of peak Q1 earnings season. 3M MMM, Boeing BA, Tesla TSLA and Intel INTC are among the biggest names putting out numbers between now and Friday. Also defense companies like GE Aerospace GE, Lockheed Martin LMT and Northrop Grumman NOC, airlines such as United UAL and American AAL, and many more.
Radical New Technology Could Hand Investors Huge Gains
Quantum Computing is the next technological revolution, and it could be even more advanced than AI.
While some believed the technology was years away, it is already present and moving fast. Large hyperscalers, such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Oracle, and even Meta and Tesla, are scrambling to integrate quantum computing into their infrastructure.
Senior Stock Strategist Kevin Cook reveals 7 carefully selected stocks poised to dominate the quantum computing landscape in his report, Beyond AI: The Quantum Leap in Computing Power.
Kevin was among the early experts who recognized NVIDIA's enormous potential back in 2016. Now, he has keyed in on what could be "the next big thing" in quantum computing supremacy. Today, you have a rare chance to position your portfolio at the forefront of this opportunity.
