Cleveland-Cliffs files underwriting agreement with UBS Securities

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF) disclosed Friday that it has filed several exhibits with its registration statement on Form S-3, including an underwriting agreement dated Wednesday with UBS Securities LLC as the sole underwriter. The filing also includes an opinion and consent from the law firm Jones Day. The steel producer, currently trading at $12.26 with a market cap of $6.07 billion, appears undervalued according to InvestingPro Fair Value estimates.

The underwriting agreement and related legal documents were submitted as part of the company’s ongoing securities registration process. No additional details regarding the terms of the underwriting agreement or the nature of the securities being registered were provided in the filing. This comes as Cleveland-Cliffs operates with a significant debt burden while experiencing a strong 48.79% price return over the past six months, despite not being profitable over the last twelve months.

This information is based on a press release statement included in the company’s Form 8-K submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. InvestingPro data reveals the company is quickly burning through cash, with analysts not anticipating profitability this year.
