Thursday, June 13, 10:10 AM Prices for met coal (KOL) have fallen to a point where they will no longer cover cash costs, even for low-cost producers, and prices should rise from current levels, FBR Capital says. Of the more met-levered names, FBR rates Alpha Natural (ANR) at Outperform, but believes Market Perform-rated Walter Energy (WLT) and Teck Resources (TCK) also could benefit. 13 Comments [Energy]

Monday, March 25, 6:20 PM When word leaked out that Rio Tinto (RIO) wanted to sell its majority stake in Iron Ore Co. of Canada, Teck Resources (TCK) was considered the most logical buyer, but BMO doesn't think a deal will happen due to valuation: Rio "does not need cash from an IOC sale and is unlikely to entertain low bids... Also, Mitsubishi owns 26.2% of IOC and has right of first refusal on the Rio Tinto stake.” 2 Comments [Energy, M&A]
Friday, March 15, 4:40 PM Coal companies continue to flounder, and Cowen analysts think the met coal sector may not see improvement with no near-term positive catalysts on the horizon. Australia's rainy season has left met coal production relatively unscathed, and China's high inventories and weakening steel prices could pressure pricing. Among coals, the firm favors Walter Energy (WLT) for the long term. 31 Comments [Energy, Commodities]
Friday, March 15, 12:45 PM A hunt for acquisitions by Teck Resources (TCK) likely is leading to a bid for Iron Ore Co. of Canada, the country's largest iron ore producer, Bloomberg speculates; Iron Ore Co. is a perfect target for TCK because it exports to Asia, would strengthen TCK’s ties with existing steelmaking customers and help lessen its reliance on coal and copper. 1 Comment [Commodities, M&A]
Monday, March 4, 12:27 PM Investors looking for a rebound in the coal sector this year should forget about companies that mine power-plant coal and turn up the heat on those that produce met coal used in making steel, BMO Capital says in seeing Teck Resources (TCK) as favored to benefit. Walter Energy's (WLT) mines face high shipping costs to get coal to Asia; Peabody (BTU) is better positioned on that front. 6 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Friday, February 8, 5:33 PM The U.S. Interior Department says it will investigate whether miners and traders skirted royalty payments on lucrative coal exports to Asia.

Friday, February 8, 10:47 AM Teck Resources (TCK -2.3%) CEO Don Lindsay said in yesterday's conference call that values have come down and more assets have come available for potential M&A, including projects in the iron ore sector which TCK has been eager to break into for years. TCK has more than $3.2B of cash on its balance sheet, but Lindsay stressed it would do nothing to threaten its investment-grade credit rating. 1 Comment [Energy, On the Move]

TCK says it met 2012 production targets for coal, copper and zinc, but realized prices for met coal fell 37%, more than offsetting a 16% rise in coal sales volumes. Maintains a positive long-term outlook for coal, but expects weakness to persist for at least H1 2013. Comment! [Energy, Earnings]
