10 Stocks are Flying Past Expectations; Airlines Take Center Stage

7. Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF)

Cleveland-Cliffs jumped by 10.4 percent on Thursday to close at $9.77 apiece as investors started repositioning portfolios ahead of the release of its second quarter earnings results.

According to the company, it will release its financial and operating performance on July 21, 2025, at 8:30 AM Eastern Time, where investors will be closely looking out for how the company fared following the imposition of President Donald Trump’s 50-percent tariffs on steel imports early in June.

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF), a heavyweight in the US steel sector, was expected to benefit from the higher tariffs as it would allow the company, alongside domestic producers, to implement more competitive prices versus imported steel and ease pressure from international competitors.

Earlier this year, stalwart import tariff supporter Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF) CEO Lourenco Goncalves, has said that Trump’s import levies can make a “long-term positive impact” in making “America a manufacturing superpower once again.”
