Cleveland Cliffs shares fall as higher costs overshadow Q1 earnings beat
Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF) shares dropped after its Q1 2026 earnings, despite beating analyst expectations for revenue and reporting a smaller-than-expected loss. The decline was attributed to significant cost pressures, particularly an $80 million surge in energy costs due to extreme cold weather. Despite these short-term challenges, the company expects sequential improvement throughout 2026 and anticipates returning to positive free cash flow in the second quarter.
