Friday, April 19, 12:17 PM Peabody Energy (BTU -4.8%) gives back most of yesterday's 7.7% gain from better-than-expected Q1 results. Coal shares rallied broadly on the news as the modestly positive data was a relief for investors fearing the worst, but today the realization is that challenges remain for the coal markets. WLT -6.4%, ANR -3.9%, CLD -3.6%, CNX -2.8%, ACI -2.6%, CLF -1.9%. 4 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
Thursday, April 18, 2:07 PM Peabody (BTU +8%) posted a 13.5% Y/Y decline in revenues, attributable to a 12% drop in U.S. coal revenue and 6% fewer shipments; also, Australian revenue fell 13.6% on a 32% drop in realized pricing per ton. But the lack of further negative news is a positive, Cowen says. As the first (and largest) U.S. coal miner to report, BTU’s results offer a sneak peek at others: ACI +10.5%, ANR +7.7%, CNX +6%. 2 Comments [Energy, On the Move]

Monday, April 15, 6:35 AM After trimming its 2014 hard coking coal forecasts, Citi downgrades Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) and Arch Coal (ACI) to Neutral from Buy "because the valuation looks less attractive under our new forecasts... with utility stockpiles still elevated, coal shipments may not improve until summer and at the same time, we need to see a significant rise in pricing to drive a 2014 earnings improvement." 7 Comments [Quick Ideas, Energy]
Friday, April 12, 8:43 AM Walter Energy (WLT) +6.5% premarket after reporting a strong start to the year thanks to higher prices for coal used in steelmaking and rising production.

Friday, April 5, 12:10 PM Select coal stocks are on the move following a bullish note from Goldman Sachs, which predicts 10% Y/Y gains in demand for thermal coal as a result of less coal-to-gas switching; the higher forecast reflects an improved outlook for natural gas prices and normalized storage. ANR +3.8%, ACI +3.1%, CNX +2.7%, BTU +0.9%, CLD +0.2%. 8 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Friday, March 22, 10:46 AM Jefferies takes a contrarian stance on coal, making a positive investment case for the surviving producers. All four major coal companies - ANR, ACI, CNX, BTU - have decades of reserves, so there's little need to spend money on exploration, the firm says; even at current prices, the industry should generate substantial levels of free cash flow for years to come. 27 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
