Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 10 days.
The thesis — published July 12, 2025
A recent tax change made the stock jump 13%, and the price is now well above its recent average price, showing strong short-term excitement. The company makes plenty of cash and owes no net debt, which looks good. But coal prices swing wildly and many long-term investors avoid coal for environmental reasons. Quick traders might push shares to $20, yet buying after a spike could mean more downside than upside. Overall, rewards exist, yet the balance between thrill and risk is uneasy.
Primary drivers
- New tax law boosts U.S. coal demand, but politicians could change course fast
- Big cash flow and no net debt give the stock a solid-looking value base
- Many are betting against the stock, which can spark sharp up moves or drops
- Price jumped far above its recent average, so a near-term slide is likely
