BTU Stock Recent News

Crude stock Peabody Energy Corp (NYSE:BTU) is 1.9% lower to trade at $13.24 at last check, extending its long-term slide on the charts.

Peabody's acquisition of Australian metallurgical coal assets transforms its business model, offering higher-margin revenue streams and diversification beyond thermal coal. Despite recent earnings declines due to lower coal prices, Peabody's EV/EBITDA and P/CF ratios suggest the stock is attractively undervalued with strong cash generation. My DCF and peer multiples analysis both indicate significant upside potential, while the company's robust balance sheet provides resilience against short-term risks.

Peabody Energy Corporation's stock has underperformed due to weak coal prices and uncertainty over the Anglo American coal asset acquisition. The Anglo deal, if debt-financed, would strain Peabody's balance sheet, raising concerns about leverage amid volatile coal markets and operational risks. Q1 2025 results showed strong cost control and solid EBITDA, especially from U.S. thermal segments with long-term contracts, despite margin pressures.

In an era dominated by the rush toward renewable energy, coal might seem like some relic of the past. Yet, for people willing to look beyond the headlines, the coal industry holds hidden gems.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 20, 2025 / BTU METALS CORP. ("BTU" or the "Company") (TSXV:BTU)(OTCQB:BTUMF) is pleased to announce that Kinross, pursuant to the option agreement between the parties, has just commenced a significant core drilling program on the Company's Dixie Halo property adjacent to Kinross's world class Great Bear gold deposit southeast of Red Lake, Ontario.

Thermal coal may retire for good in the U.S., but metallurgical coal could see “healthy” growth, says analyst.

Q1 2025 results are better than expected due to cost control across all segments, but nonetheless, the main metrics showed a Q/Q decline. The Seaborne Thermal segment increased volume in Q1 2025, but Q2 2025 and H2 2025 appear to be soft. The Seaborne Metallurgical segment reduced sold volume in Q1 2025 due to elevated prices; volume is expected to increase in H2 2025, although prices remain under pressure.

Trading at just 2× EV/EBITDA, BTU offers a rare margin of safety in today's market. Strategic shift into high‑margin coking coal taps booming steel demand in Asia. Even if the deal does not go through, Peabody has many plus points like ongoing Centurion ramp‑up, and conservative leverage.
