NEW YORK, May 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP ("Scott+Scott"), a national shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed against United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) ("U.S. Steel" or the "Company") on behalf of purchasers of the Company's securities between November 1, 2016 and April 25, 2017. If you are a U.S. Steel shareholder, you are encouraged to contact Scott+Scott for more information.

U.S. Steel Corporation is an integrated steel producer that manufactures flat-rolled and tubular products in North America and Europe.

Specifically, the Company reported a quarterly net loss of $180 million negative operating cash flow of $135 million. The Company also significantly reduced its net earning guidance from $535 million to $260 million for Fiscal 2017.
