May 6, 2013 10:49 EDT CLF Cliffs Natural rallies after analyst raises stock to Outperform Mining company Cliffs Natural (CLF) is climbing after FBR Capital analyst Mitesh Thakkar upgraded the stock to Outperform from Market Perform in a note to investors earlier today. WHAT'S NEW: After meeting with Cliffs' management, Thakkar is more convinced that the company can use various methods to offset declines in iron ore prices. Specifically, Cliffs Natural can reduce its spending on various initiatives, and sell assets to raise cash if necessary, the analyst contended. In addition, there are signs that China's iron ore imports could increase, while Cliffs' stock has slumped 49% this year, making its valuation attractive, the analyst wrote. Thakkar kept a $28 price target on the shares. TODAY'S PRICE ACTION: In mid-morning trading, Cliffs gained 85c, or 4.3%, to $20.75. OTHERS TO WATCH: Other metal producers rose slightly, with Alcoa (AA) adding 0.75% to $8.70, BHP Billiton (BHP) gaining 0.4% to $67.80, and Freeport McMoRan (FCX) gaining 0.75% to $31.40. 10:11 EDT CLF Cliffs Natural rises after upgrade, levels to watch Subscribe for More Information 10:04 EDT CLF On The Fly: Analyst Upgrade Summary Subscribe for More Information 09:18 EDT CLF On The Fly: Pre-market Movers Subscribe for More Information 06:31 EDT CLF Cliffs Natural upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at FBR Capital Subscribe for More Information Sign up for a free trial to see the rest of the stories you've been missing.
