Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 76 days.
The thesis — published July 2, 2025
Peabody just got a boost because the Senate talked about laws that favor coal, pushing the stock up 4.8% on June 30. Even after that jump, the price is still 37% below this year’s peak and has been sliding for years. Trading volume was much heavier than normal, hinting that big investors may be buying, but a work stoppage at an Australian mine and weak company scores warn that the story is not risk-free. If the price climbs above its long slide, it could reach about $20 within three months.
Primary drivers
- Senate bill backing coal sparked a 4.8% price jump and could give long-term policy help
- Daily trading was over 130% of normal and recent average price rose 10%, hinting big buyers
- Price remains 37% under its highs, so a rebound above the trend line may give outsized gains
- Extended lockout at an Australian mine and weak fundamentals add headline and execution risk
