Oct 20▲ UpUpgradeProductGeopolitical4 articles
Cleveland-Cliffs shares closed at $13.65, up 0.11%, after trading in a wide range between $12.62 and $13.84 on heavy volume of over 40.7 million shares. Analysts were active: Morgan Stanley maintained an Equal-Weight rating but raised its target to $14, while Wells Fargo reiterated Overweight and lifted its target to $17. The company also stated that steel prices have not yet peaked and expects pricing to continue rising, a bullish signal for its outlook. However, Canada's government is seeking legal advice on Cleveland-Cliffs' shutdown of part of its Ontario steel plant, with a possible mandated sale under review, adding medium-impact geopolitical risk. Overall, the analyst upgrades and positive pricing commentary point to an upward direction, though the Canadian regulatory issue could cap gains.
Oct 19▲ UpEarningsDowngrade4 articles
Cleveland-Cliffs shares closed at $14.10, down 0.70% on heavy volume of 84.6 million shares, after trading in a wide range between $12.94 and $14.58. The steelmaker reported its strongest quarterly results in three years, with third-quarter adjusted EPS beating expectations, and the stock moved higher following the results. However, Barclays reiterated its Underweight rating while lifting its price target to $11, a level well below the current share price, signaling continued analyst caution. The bullish earnings news and the bearish analyst action create mixed signals, though the beat and best-quarter headline lean positive.
