Opinion
Peabody Energy Corp (NYSE BTU) US$20.82
Peabody dropped their 2Q result overnight and they were a clear miss. Adjusted EBITDA came in well below expectations, driven by a loss-making Seaborne Metallurgical segment on persistent Centurion mine commissioning issues, a weak Powder River Basin performance, and elevated costs across the business. The stock fell more than 10% by the session's end.
Peabody Energy (BTU US) $US25.00
A soft March-quarter result confirmed by Peabody overnight, with the market focusing on a sizeable earnings (EBITDA) miss and ongoing delays at Centurion. The key issue remains execution at Centurion, Peabody’s metallurgical coal growth asset in Queensland, where commissioning issues constrained production.
Peabody Energy (BTU US) $US32.95
BTU was hit hard over the past two session, falling around 15% after warning that Q1 sales volumes from its Centurion mine in QLD will be materially below prior expectations. The company now expects roughly 250kt of shipments versus earlier guidance of around 700kt, blaming more difficult-than-expected commissioning challenges.
Peabody Energy Corp (BTU US) $US34.24
Peabody (BTU) slipped 2.2% overnight in a weak session on Wall Street, supported by solid 4th quarter earnings, which contained no nasty surprises:
Peabody Energy Corp (BTU US) $US25.87
Peabody’s Q3 numbers underwhelmed, with earnings coming in well below expectations as pricing and margins across key divisions softened.
Peabody Energy (BTU US) $US23.85
BTU has been on a good run of late, with the share price more than doubling since the April 2025 low, implying that our local coal producers should be performing a little better than they are. For context, Peabody remains one of the world’s leading coal producers with 17 mines across the US and Australia, supplying both thermal coal (for power generation) and metallurgical coal (for steelmaking).
Peabody Energy Corp (BTU US) $US17.38
Peabody has awoken from its slumber in July, including an 11% surge on Tuesday night illustrating the influence of the Chinese news.
Peabody Energy (BTU US) $US14.82
Coal stocks globally have been in a challenging spot for the past 6-months, with most down to the tune of 30-50%, with BTU US being on the weaker side. We’ve held various positions across all portfolios, and they’ve weighed on performance. Our expectation that weaker supply would meet higher demand, pushing up prices, has proven elusive.
Peabody Energy (BTU) $US28.88
Peabody reported solid earnings last week, and it embraced the Trump Trade on Thursday, surging +9.6% - the phrase “Drill Baby Drill” comes to mind even though it referenced oil.
