Peabody Energy Corporation
Peabody Energy Corporation (BTU) is the largest private-sector coal producer, operating mines in the United States and Australia. Investors should know it is a commodity producer: revenues and earnings are closely tied to thermal and metallurgical coal prices, which are cyclical and influenced by global energy demand, industrial activity and policy. With a market capitalisation of about $3.51 billion, Peabody can generate strong cash flow when coal prices are supportive but is also exposed to pricing downturns, fuel substitution and stricter environmental regulation. The company’s balance sheet, operational costs, and any dividend or share-buyback policy are important to monitor. Longer-term risks include energy transition, carbon regulation and investor ESG scrutiny, while shorter-term opportunities may arise from tight supply or higher demand.
