- Friday, October 26, 2012, 12:14 PM It's a good day for coal stocks, as Arch Coal (ACI +9.8%) logged surprise Q3 profit growth instead of expected red ink and Cloud Peak's (CLD +11%) Q3 results beat estimates. ANR +4.2%, JRCC +3.9%. But Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF -3.9%) continues to feel the pain of its dismal Q3; Dahlman Rose cuts shares to Hold on expected low iron ore prices and cash flow concerns. 1 Comment [Energy, On the Move]
- Monday, October 22, 2012, 8:36 AM More on Peabody's (BTU) Q3 results: Issues in-line guidance for FY12, seeing EPS of $1.88-$2.08 vs. $1.88 consensus estimate. Targets 2012 adjusted EBITDA of $1.75B-$1.85B, total sales of 240M-250M tons. Projects global seaborne thermal coal demand will rise ~100M metric tons in 2012 to 900M, with continued increases in 2013. BTU +6.2% premarket; also ANR +3.7%, CNX +3.6%, ACI +2.9%. 1 Comment [Energy, Earnings, On the Move]
- Friday, October 12, 2012, 8:45 AM Coal miners Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) and Peabody Energy (BTU) are -2.3% and -1.4% premarket after they're nailed by downgrades at Nomura. ANR is cut to Neutral from Buy as the firm sees more significant earnings and free cash flow risks than expected, while BTU is cut to Reduce to reflect more conservative forward multiples given elevated earnings risk and weaker growth rates. 12 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]

Midday top 10 gainers: CLWR +37%. USAT +27%. PURE +22%. ANR +15%. ACI +14%. S +13%. DRWI +13%. PATK +12%. OSK +12%. JKS +12%.
Top 10 Losers: PRSS -16%. KITD -12%. CMN -11%. OTT -10%. WSO -10%. DLTR -9%. CLNT -8%. SWC -8%. BSDM -8%. ONE -8%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, October 11, 2012, 11:34 AM Coal stocks are enjoying notable strength today, as natural gas hits multi-month highs, +4% to $3.61/btu. Dahlman Rose predicts demand may be on the rise from steel manufacturers in China; the boost in iron ore prices this week also is a bullish factor. ANR +12.1%, ACI +10.9%, JRCC +10.1%, ACI +7.7%, BTU +7.5%, CNX +6.3%, WLT +5.7%, CLD +5.5%. 4 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 2:54 PM Goldman Sachs is bullish on Consol Energy (CNX +5.2%) and Peabody Energy (BTU +6.4%) even as it downgrades Arch Coal (ACI +4.3%), giving a boost to coal mining stocks (KOL +1.8%). The firm says the duo are set to benefit from a rebound in spot prices, which it thinks are currently at "unsustainable" levels. Also: ANR +7.3%, WLT +7.9%, JRCC +9.1%. Comment! [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 12:52 PM Arch Coal (ACI +2.6%) pushes higher even after Goldman Sachs downgrades shares to Sell, expecting ACI will be forced to cut met coal growth guidance. Coal, iron ore and steel stocks are strong for a second straight day following news that iron ore prices in China rose 6% to $110.40/ton. ANR +5.3%, AKS +3.9%, WLT +3.7%, BTU +3.6%, X +3.1%, CLF +2.7%. Comment! [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Friday, October 5, 2012, 1:24 PM Bottom fishers in the beaten down coal sector might be interested to know the carts of several of the names are forming a very bullish inverse head and shoulder pattern, according to UpsideTrader. At this point, WLT, ANR, ACI, and BTU all seem to be finishing out the formation, so a bit more time is necessary to validate the move. 4 Comments [Energy]
- Thursday, October 4, 2012, 2:12 PM Is it a Romney rally? "I like coal... people in the coal industry feel like it's getting crushed by your policies," Mitt Romney said in last night's debate. Arch Coal (ACI +8.7%), which Brean Murray analyst Lucas Pipes says has more leverage to the domestic thermal coal market, continues to push higher (earlier). Also: JRCC +10.8%, ANR +6.2%, CNX +5.8%, WLT +5.1%, BTU +4.4%. 22 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, October 4, 2012, 12:24 PM Coal is now cost competitive with natural gas for power generation, and the industry has seen utilities switching back to coal, which Global Hunter says points to a sooner than expected recovery in fundamentals. JRCC +9.8%, ACI +7.1%, WLT +5.9%, CNX +5.3%, ANR +5.2%, BTU +4.3%. 9 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 12:15 PM The most important news of recent days, writes Akram's Razor, was the $1B buyout bid for debt-laden Australian iron ore miner and steel producer Arrium. It suggests the point at which beaten-up metallurgical coal names and leveraged iron ore and steel producers become bait for mining giants or Asian/Middle Eastern buyers has moved closer. Some obvious picks: ANR, WLT, CLF, or X. 3 Comments [Quick Ideas, Global & FX, Commodities]
- Friday, September 28, 2012, 4:36 AM Slowing Chinese growth is hitting the U.S.'s Appalachian coal mines and towns hard, with the slumping steel industry in China needing far less of Appalachia's high-grade metallurgical coal. The result is that a ton of thermal coal sells for $52 vs. $65-$75 to produce it. The affected companies include Patriot Coal (PCXCQ.PK), which filed for Chapter 11 in July, Alpha Natural Resources (ANR), Consol (CNX) and Arch Coal (ACI). 2 Comments [Commodities, U.S. Economy, Global & FX]
- Thursday, September 27, 2012, 4:31 PM S&P cuts its corporate credit rating on Alpha Natural Resources (ANR +2.4%) to B+ from BB- and assigns a B+ rating to ANR's proposed $500M senior unsecured notes due 2020. The downgrade reflects the likelihood that ANR's 2012 and 2013 EBITDA will be much lower than anticipated because of a sharp cyclical downturn in domestic coal demand. Comment! [Commodities]
