Cleveland-Cliffs is scheduled to report its second quarter earnings later this month and investors' focus is shifting away from capital allocation. Profitability and costs will be in the spotlight, as gross margins seem to have bottomed already. Although there are strong short-term tailwinds, I do not see the stock as a buy yet and the rest of 2024 is unlikely to be a smooth sailing for shareholders.
Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) reachead $15.47 at the closing of the latest trading day, reflecting a -1.09% change compared to its last close.
Despite recent underperformance, CLF remains undervalued with potential for margin expansion and growth in the steel industry. Analysts' concerns and downgrades may pose risks, but CLF's undervaluation and growth prospects make it a strong 'Buy' in the medium term. I believe CLF's EBITDA growth should continue due to a rebound in service center buyer demand and the continuation of cost reduction programs.
