What the filing says
Cleveland-Cliffs reported Q3 2026 revenues of $5.6 billion (+7.7% Q-o-Q) and adjusted EBITDA of $612 million (up $326 million vs. Q2's $286 million), representing the strongest quarter in three years. GAAP net income was $165 million ($0.26/share) vs. Q2's loss of $134 million. Management raised 2027 outlook to adjusted EBITDA exceeding $4 billion based on new customer contracts and pricing; however, idled Stelco's galvanizing lines (~2,000 Canadian jobs indefinitely idle) due to oversupply in Canadian galvanized steel market. Liquidity stands at $3.2 billion; management targeting <2.5x net debt/EBITDA by mid-2027.
Why this rating
Strong operational recovery and significantly raised 2027 guidance is meaningful for a $3.7B company; Stelco idling is offsetting negative but preservation of hot-roll jobs limits damage. Relative to market cap, material improvement.
