Arch Resources: Another Attractive Coal Company
Summary Arch Resources reported a $6.2 million net loss and $617 million revenue in 3Q24. The company holds $279 million in cash and owes $142 million in debt. The proposed merger with CONSOL Energy will create Core Natural Resources, a leading low-cost producer and exporter of metallurgical and thermal coal. The merger is expected to enhance cost efficiency, diversify export markets, and create a company with a market cap exceeding $5 billion. ARCH is not the best dividend or buyback company. Yet, dividends and buybacks combined result in attractive shareholder returns. In summary, ARCH is another interesting coal idea. I give ARCH a Buy rating.

Arch Resources Shares Could Face Pressure Ahead Of A Challenging Q2 And Q3
Summary With lower met coal prices and challenges with rail logistics, Arch may have a difficult time meeting Q2 guidance. I believe a loss in the quarter is possible. With recent quotes for High Vol-A met coal around $190, Q3 estimates will also come in far below the current $4.55 estimate. Arch has already guided to minimal shareholder returns in Q2, and Q3 may look similar unless prices turn higher soon. Investors may find a better entry point in Arch shares in the future.

Coal Isn't Going Anywhere, And Arch Resources Is A Great Cash Cow

The company has recently underperformed its peer, Alpha Metallurgical Resources, but this is likely to change in the future thanks to a stronger stock buyback program.
