Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.

AI-generated fair value estimate for this company.

Method: 10-year full-cycle-recovery unlevered FCF DCF: explicit annual FCF path of -$100M, $300M, $600M, $800M, $900M, $950M, $1,000M, $1,000M, $1,000M, $1,000M reflecting a gradual steel-price and auto-contract-driven recovery; 10% discount rate; 1.5% terminal growth; less $7,653M net debt; 570.54M shares outstanding.

Reasoning: Cleveland-Cliffs is a highly leveraged, cyclical integrated steelmaker currently posting negative free cash flow, so equity value is extremely sensitive to the pace of margin recovery; an explicit multi-year recovery path to a mid-cycle $1.0B FCF run rate, netted against its large debt load, shows how much enterprise value is currently absorbed by leverage.
