What are Wall Street analysts saying about Cleveland-Cliffs stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Cleveland-Cliffs stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cleveland-Cliffs remains focused on de-leveraging its balance sheet. It should also gain from major supply deals and an expected rise in steel demand in the United States. The company is also expected to benefit from its pellet supply contracts with its U.S. iron ore customers which will help it to mitigate the impact of fluctuation in seaborne iron ore pricing. However, Cleveland-Cliffs is faced with a challenging operating environment and pricing headwinds. The company has also cut its profit outlook for 2017 factoring in lower expected iron ore pricing. Demand for iron ore in China also remain soft." (1/9/2018)
- 2. FBR & Co analysts commented, "Cleveland-Cliffs reported Q3 results with an EBITDA miss of $154M versus consensus estimates of $166M. The company slightly reduced volume guidance in the U.S. and Australia, while maintaining prior cost guidance in the U.S., and increased Australian cost guidance (mostly as a result of the weaker USD). The company cut 2017 US sales guidance as a result of a single large buyer reducing orders, which has brought down our Q4 estimate to $123M, from $185M. The company is now planning for $270M in capex over the next twelve months, largely from the construction of the HBI plant. With the HBI plant now fully incorporated into our model, and Q4 results priced in, we see an appropriate buying window." (10/20/2017)
