A Metallurgical Coal Producer

Alpha Metallurgical supplies metallurgical coal to steel producers. Metallurgical coal is the coking coal used in blast-furnace steelmaking, as distinct from the thermal coal burned for power. The company operates 19 active mines and eight preparation plants in Virginia and West Virginia. Demand for its product follows steel production, so the company's results are tied to steel demand and to coal prices.

Second-Quarter Results

In its second-quarter report, the company posted a net loss of $12.3 million and adjusted EBITDA of $25.6 million, in what it described as an environment of subdued steel demand and volatile coal prices. Over the trailing twelve months, revenue was $2.07 billion, a decrease of 12.9%. A director purchase of about $2.26 million has also been reported.

Energy Markets and the Wider Backdrop

Energy prices eased during the session, with Brent Crude down 1.7% to $96.16 a barrel, and Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) slipped 0.7%. The 10-year Yield settled near 5.25%, and consumer confidence fell to 81.9, its lowest reading since 2014, a backdrop that bears on industrial and steel-related demand.

Mine Count Against Market Softness

The close of $166.00 sits about 35% under the 52-week high of $253.82 and about 24% over the low of $133.64, in the lower half of a wide yearly range. The next Earnings report is due on November 5, and Tuesday's 5.43% decline stood well apart from the broader market's near-flat close.
