Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) shares are pushing higher on Friday after the steelmaker announced a $1 billion investment in its Middletown Works facility in Ohio. In its press release, the NYSE-listed company also confirmed that about half of its modernization project is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
The announcement arrives at a time when Cleveland-Cliffs stock is starved of investor interest, currently down about 15% versus the start of this year.
