Cleveland-Cliffs, Beyond The EPS
Cleveland-Cliffs stands out as the last major American-based integrated steel producer, benefiting from termination of legacy contracts, tariffs, and strategic acquisitions like Stelco. My earnings power analysis suggests a conservative P/E of 6.2 and a robust 16% earnings yield, highlighting undervaluation at current prices. The new three-year contract with Detroit automakers and potential for further industry revival provide strong catalysts for stable revenue and growth.
