Alliance Resource Partners Stock Eyes Growth With AllDale Minerals Royalty Acquisition Alliance Resource Partners agreed to acquire general partner and limited partner interests in AllDale Minerals III and IV.
The deal increases ARLP’s economic interest in AllDale entities and its control over net royalty acres.
The acquisition expands Alliance Resource Partners’ exposure to the northern Delaware, Anadarko, Bakken and Haynesville basins, including entry into the Haynesville gas play.
This move shifts Alliance Resource Partners further into oil and gas royalty interests, which typically carry different risk and cash flow characteristics than its core coal operations.
Investors may want to watch how ARLP manages capital allocation between coal and these royalty assets, and what this means for future commodity exposure and project priorities. Noticias en vivo • Jun 09
Alliance Resource Partners to Acquire Majority Stake in AllDale Minerals for US$206 Million Alliance Resource Partners agreed to acquire additional general partner and limited partner interests in AllDale Minerals III and IV for about US$206.2 million.
After closing, ARLP’s economic interest in AllDale III and IV is expected to move from roughly 5% to 61%.
ARLP will own 100% of the general partner interests in AllDale III and IV and gain exposure to the Permian and Haynesville basins through this deal.
The key takeaway is that ARLP is expanding its oil and gas royalties platform and concentrating more ownership in assets tied to established U.S. resource plays, which changes the mix of its business beyond coal.
Investors may want to pay close attention to how this acquisition is financed, the cash flow profile of the royalty interests, and commodity price exposure linked to the Permian and Haynesville assets. Declared Dividend • Apr 29
First quarter dividend of US$0.60 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of US$0.60. Ex-date: 8th May 2026 Payment date: 15th May 2026 Dividend yield will be 9.0%, which is higher than the industry average of 4.5%.

EPS is expected to grow by 44% over the next 3 years, which is sufficient to bring the dividend into a sustainable range. New Risk • Apr 28
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 95% Cash payout ratio: 94% Dividend yield: 9.1% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Anuncio • Apr 13

The dividend has increased by an average of 2.2% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. EPS is expected to decline by 33% over the next 3 years. However, it would need to fall by 37% to increase the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range. New Risk • Jan 30
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 11% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 11% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$8.9m sold).

Alliance Resource Partners: The Dividend And Capital Gains Will Be Transitory In The Long Term Summary
Alliance Resource Partners is riding a boom in coal prices caused by a combination of unique events.
The company's fortune up until last year was heavily defined by a blossoming ESG movement with high disdain for fossil fuels.
The now faltering old ESG orthodoxy is set to be revived by the recently signed Inflation Reduction Act.
The unprecedented fiscal program is about to catalyse an explosion in the climate economy like never before.
It's truly vast in its scope and scale and stands to create runway adoption of nuclear and renewable power in the United States.
Let's start with the obvious. Coal prices are spiking to new highs as a scramble for energy around the world on the back of post-pandemic economic reopenings and the disruption wrought by Russia's weaponization of energy. EU sanctions have all but shut Russian coal out of its continent and exacerbated a global scramble for the rock. Thermal coal also still remains important for electricity generation around the world. India uses it for 70% of its total electricity needs and China is looking to add 270 GW of coal thermal capacity in the next five years through 2025. Even Germany, Europe's largest economy, has pivoted more heavily to coal in recent months as its nuclear power station shutdowns progressed.
Seeking Alpha
Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP) is now enjoying a near-generational intersection of unique geopolitical events and policy failures. Indeed, US coal prices have surged to a record high past $200/ton. The party has arrived for thermal coal investors with an increased quarterly dividend payout and positive capital gains fully in the swing of the lyrical beat. However, the market sentiment has failed to consider the bigger picture, and whilst the ESG movement might have been too euphoric on its initial timelines for the runway adoption of renewables, the recently signed Inflation Reduction Act represents a step change for the industry. To be clear, coal remains fundamentally incompatible with the drive towards net zero. The Act looks to allocate at least $370 billion to accelerate the drive towards net zero over the next decade.
Coal bulls need to understand that this is not the fringe dreams of a small number of environmentalists. It represents what is fast becoming the single most defining change in contemporary American history. The Inflation Reduction Act is simply unprecedented in its scope and scale and represents the most pertinent effort by any government on earth and against any time in human history to heavily influence the winds of change for its entire energy system. The incentives included in the act go beyond the initial $370 billion cost. They will fast become the ignition that sees coal's contribution to the US electricity grid continue to realize a permanent decline.
US Demand For Coal Is Eroding As Renewables Become Even Cheaper
Coal's contribution to the US electricity grid has been on a structural decline since the start of the new millennium as natural gas took over and renewables experienced explosive growth from a few hundred MWs in the 90s.
Energy Information Association
Analysts from Credit Suisse in late October published a research note on the Act that highlights just how staggering in scope it is. Firstly, the Act might spend twice as much as the currently earmarked $370 billion figure as many important provisions including subsidies for solar and utility-scale battery storage systems are uncapped tax credits.
Essentially, the US government has written a blank check to the renewable industry. The frequently cited figure is wrong. As long as a project meets the terms, the government will award credits. There is no upper ceiling, no budget, and no restrictions. The Act's total spending is likely to be more than $800 billion, 2x more than what the frequently cited figure. When you adjust for the crowding-in effects of private capital layering on top of government subsidies, the total allocated capital into technologies that compete directly with coal could top $1.7 trillion over the next decade until 2032.
Consultants from the Boston Consulting Group have estimated that the incentives included in the Act could increase the deployment of zero-carbon energy to up to 80% of electricity production as soon as 2030. This would be ahead of the Energy Information Association chart and would see coal fall to a single-digit per cent by the end of this decade. US solar and wind by 2029 could be the cheapest in the world at less than $5 per MWh due to the Act with utility-scale solar deployments alone set to increase by 40%, around 62 GW, over pre-IRA projections through 2027.
Hence whilst the ESG orthodoxy is under siege from the rapacious rise of coal and oil in this distinctive and unique period, it is set to bloom again. The USA's zero-carbon transition, seemingly faltering, has been resuscitated with the terms of the Act that can only be described as an 800-pound gorilla crushing anything that does not adhere to its scope and requirements.
The Party Will Come To An End But Not Before Risks
Alliance Resource Partners has seen its market cap rise to $3.10 billion on the back of rising coal prices. However, the company's broader valuation is understandably still quite favourable to its bulls with its price to trailing 12-months non-GAAP earnings multiple at 10.34x. Whilst this is higher than its sector median, its drops to 5.11x when forward earnings are considered.
Seeking Alpha
This represents the most pertinent risk for a contrarian bearish view of the company. The financials are improving with revenue growing to $616 million for its fiscal 2022 second quarter, up 70.1% from its year-ago quarter. Coal prices could stay at their elevated levels for years which would support increased dividend payouts and further gains on the common shares.
