Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. reported a loss per share of $0.40 for Full Year 2026, capping a difficult period for the steel producer as it navigated challenging market conditions. The company posted a net loss of $229.0M for the quarter despite generating revenue of $4.92B, which represented a 6.3% increase from the $4.63B recorded in FY 2025.
The integrated steel manufacturer moved 4,108,000 net tons in steel product sales volumes during the quarter, with total steel shipments reaching 4,100,000 net tons at quarter end. Distributors and converters remained the company’s largest customer segment, generating $1.50B in revenue for the quarter as Cleveland-Cliffs continued serving diverse end markets across the industrial economy.
The top-line growth of 6.3% year-over-year signals improving demand conditions in certain steel markets, though pricing pressures and operational costs weighed on profitability. Wall Street analysts remain cautious on the stock, with consensus standing at 2 buy, 13 hold, and 6 sell ratings. The vertically integrated producer continues to balance its iron ore mining operations with downstream steelmaking as it manages through cyclical headwinds in the materials sector.
