Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES / CRGO) →Stands to benefitWith 40% share, sole-qualified-supplier status, and a 24-month replacement lead time, Cleveland-Cliffs is the clearest beneficiary of a tariff-driven GOES price lift.
94% confidenceGalvalume / Galvanized Steel Coil →Stands to benefitSteel tariffs lift domestic galvanized-steel pricing, and Cleveland-Cliffs is explicitly identified as a pricing-lift beneficiary of this shock.
93% confidenceGrain-Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES / CRGO) →Prices riseHop 3
Electric grid transformers →Prices riseGrain-Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES / CRGO)
GOES is the transformer's dominant critical core material, so steel-tariff price pressure passes through almost one-for-one into this input cost.

Steel tariffs raise the cost of steel sheet, and this is the HVAC cabinet steel input, so its price is pushed up.

Lhoist Group →Prices riseIf steel tariffs lift domestic steel output, Lhoist's limestone and dolomite consumption can rise, which can push prices higher despite decent substitutability.
