Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) rose 10% to $13.29 after reporting third-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $612 million, beating its $575 million guidance and up sharply from $143 million a year earlier. Revenue of $5.61 billion missed the $5.72 billion expected, though sales rose 18.6% year over year on a higher average net selling price of $1,177 per ton and larger shipments. Management said imports remain well below historical levels, but it indefinitely idled the galvanizing lines at its Canadian unit Stelco due to oversupply. The company guided to about $715 million of adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and said 2027 adjusted EBITDA should exceed $4 billion based on current index price forecasts. Its target is to bring net debt to EBITDA below 2.5x by mid-2027.

- Cleveland - Cliffs Reports Third - Quarter 2026 Results
Cleveland-Cliffs reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $5.6 billion, up from $5.2 billion in the second quarter, on steel shipments of 4.2 million net tons. GAAP net income was $165 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA rose to $612 million from $286 million, a $326 million improvement that CEO Lourenco Goncalves called the company's strongest quarter in three years. The company expects fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA of about $715 million and 2027 adjusted EBITDA above $4 billion, citing new contracts and price forecasts. Because of an oversupplied Canadian galvanized steel market, Stelco's galvanizing lines will be indefinitely idled, while hot-rolled production is maintained and about 2,000 Canadian jobs are preserved. Liquidity stood at $3.2 billion at the end of the quarter.

- VinMetal partners with Danieli to produce rail steel for high-speed and urban railways in Vietnam
VinMetal, part of Vingroup, has signed a contract with Italy's Danieli & C. Officine Meccaniche S.p.A. to supply core equipment for the rail and section steel rolling line at its Hà Tĩnh steel complex. Under the contract, Danieli will design, manufacture, supply and commission equipment for a line with capacity of over 700,000 tonnes per year. Danieli has more than 100 years of experience, has delivered over 1,000 projects, and has supplied technology to rail producers such as Voestalpine and Mechel. The products are aimed at high-speed rail, urban rail, bridges, ports and logistics projects, helping secure domestic supply and reduce reliance on imports. The Vũng Áng Economic Zone complex is designed to reach about 6 million tonnes per year in phase 1, with plans to expand to 20 million tonnes per year in phase 2.
- Cleveland-Cliffs Drops 4% as Tariff Doubt Returns; Nucor and Steel Dynamics Slip
Cleveland-Cliffs shares fell 4% to $12.13 in afternoon trading, a steeper drop than rivals Nucor (down 1% to $253.55) and Steel Dynamics (down 1% to $240.34), while the VanEck Steel ETF fell 0.8% and the S&P 500 ETF rose 0.1%. The article attributes the gap to Cleveland-Cliffs' ownership of Canadian steelmaker Stelco, so duties on Canadian steel both raise prices for its domestic mills and increase costs on its own imports from Stelco. On October 5, the company said it is expanding electrical steel production at its Butler Works plant in Pennsylvania to supply transformers for power-grid operators, a demand source separate from trade policy. The article says the outcome depends on whether Butler Works' grid-linked revenue can offset trade-policy effects on its Canadian operations, and that each new trade headline may move the stock.
- Alcoa Gains 8%, United States Antimony Jumps 10% After Alcoa’s Q3 Beat and Data Center Site Sale; Cleveland-Cliffs Rises 2%
Alcoa shares rose 8% to $43.69 in morning trading after Q3 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.82 per share beat the $1.49 consensus, although revenue of $3.7 billion missed the $3.76 billion forecast. The company agreed to sell portions of its Massena East site in New York for data center development, with potential proceeds of up to $315 million. Aluminum output rose for a sixth consecutive quarter, the Alumar smelter restart in Brazil was completed, and alumina output grew 11% sequentially. Lower prices and shipments cut Aluminum segment revenue 9% from the prior quarter, and Alcoa expects $30 million in higher raw material costs and $30 million in adverse alumina costs in Q4 2026. The article highlights whether the AliGroup acquisition of South32's bauxite, alumina and aluminum assets, funded partly by a $2.6 billion senior notes offering, closes in the first half of 2027.

- Why Meta's Q3 earnings could be a little hard to interpret
Meta is reporting its third-quarter earnings after the market closes Wednesday, and Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi says the report will be hard to interpret. Recent good news on Meta's AI products, including new models and an AI agent, may not appear directly in the results but will likely be discussed on the earnings call. The key uncertainty is how investors will react if Meta raises its capex outlook again: it could be seen as fueling those products, or as overspending on offerings not yet reflected in financials. Sozzi expects the market to give Meta the benefit of the doubt on higher capex, as long as the increase does not shock investors.
- Zerohash rolls out a new tool to move crypto without copying wallet addresses
Zerohash launched AUTH, a service that lets users move crypto, stablecoins and blockchain-based stock tokens between linked exchange accounts or self-custody wallets without copying wallet addresses or choosing a blockchain network. To transfer, users pick an account in an app that offers AUTH, sign in and approve the move, while the service handles routing and settlement and each app sets which assets and transfer types it allows. AUTH supports more than 600 connections, including Coinbase, Robinhood, Gemini, MetaMask and Phantom, with Coinbase, Robinhood and Gemini live and Kraken in beta. The launch comes as Zerohash's application for a national trust bank charter, returned by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in July, remains pending after a narrower refiling on Aug. 18.
- 2 charts show why Wall Street is right to worry about tech stocks
Rising cost of capital could affect the financial statements of hyperscalers such as Oracle (ORCL) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL) in 2027, as they need fresh debt to fund AI infrastructure and free cash flow may turn negative. JPMorgan strategist Mislav Matejka forecasts hyperscaler free cash flow will turn negative in 2027, implying credit markets will drive more of the AI build-out. Consensus estimates for 2027 capital expenditures are already rising from levels experts believe are too low. Morgan Stanley sees total 2027 capex among hyperscalers reaching $1.6 trillion, up from $978 billion estimated for this year. Dan Ives of Yorkville expects capex to reach the trillions and over 1,000 datacenters to be built in the next few years.

- Nvidia wins CPU business from Modal, previously exclusive to AMD and Intel
Modal, a San Francisco-based AI cloud startup that previously ran its AI agent workloads only on Intel and AMD processors, will begin using Nvidia's new Vera CPU. Early tests showed the Nvidia chip doubled work capacity for AI agents, and Modal plans to run it alongside Intel and AMD chips, assigning each task to the most efficient hardware, though integration requires substantial software changes. Modal recently raised $750 million in a round led by Accel at a $15.75 billion valuation and expects $1 billion in sales over the next year, with usage tripled and revenue up more than 15 times year-over-year. Nvidia projects at least $20 billion in Vera chip revenue this fiscal year in a market it estimates at about $200 billion, and says OpenAI, Anthropic, Oracle and Perplexity also plan to use the chips.
- America's EV Plans Have Died
Billions of dollars went into EV factories, dealerships and marketing after President Biden set a goal for 50% of new US car sales to be zero-emission by 2030, but EV sales have since fallen sharply. US EV sales dropped 30.7% in the first nine months of 2026, after the $7,500 tax credit expired on September 30 last year, and gas prices near $4.50 per gallon have done little to lift them. According to Kelley Blue Book, the average transaction price of a new EV was $54,754 in August, above the $50,089 average for all new cars. Ford's EV sales fell 80.2% to 6,047 in the third quarter, and it has no new EV planned until its Fathom launches next year, while Tesla holds over 50% of the market and no other major automaker has even 10%. The article says EVs could recover if gas prices reach $5 and stay there for months, but that is uncertain.
