Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (CLF) is primarily an iron‑ore miner and pellet producer that supplies raw material to steelmakers. With a market capitalisation of about $6.62 billion, the business is closely tied to global steel demand and commodity cycles; revenues and margins typically move with iron‑ore prices, construction and manufacturing activity. Investors should note the capital‑intensive nature of mining, exposure to cyclical end markets (notably China and North America), and sensitivity to freight, input costs and regulation. The company may also face operational and environmental risks common to mining firms. Given these factors, CLF can offer leverage to a recovering steel cycle but also substantial volatility. This summary is for general education only and not personal financial advice. Always consider your risk tolerance, investment horizon and financial circumstances before taking a position; values can rise and fall and returns are not guaranteed.
