Wall Street Expects Growth in Cleveland-Cliffs’s Free Cash Flow

Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) generated FCF of $182 million in 2017, which mostly went toward enhancing its core business, including its acquisition of the remaining minority interest in both the Tilden and Empire mines. According to the consensus compiled by Thomson Reuters, analysts expect Cliffs to generate FCF of $194 million in 2018, which implies growth of 6.5% YoY (year-over-year).
