Summary Hallador Energy (HNRG) earns a buy rating for its integrated energy model and critical accredited capacity in the MISO grid. HNRG's vertical integration shields it from coal market volatility, enabling efficient scaling and margin expansion through power generation. Strong growth is underpinned by a 40% YoY revenue increase, robust liquidity, and long-term PPA negotiations with data center developers. Expansion plans for 525MW gas generation and a resilient balance sheet position HNRG for further upside despite regulatory and execution risks.

Summary Based on a recent filing to MISO and ongoing excavation work near the proposed datacenter site, Hallador Energy Company appears to be nearing a transformative datacenter deal. The proposed 620MW datacenter will contract most of HNRG's generation capacity for 10+ years, potentially driving annual net income to $129m and EPS to $3.03 by FY 2027. Given its minimal grid impacts and conventional front-of-the-meter structure, the project is unlikely to encounter significant regulatory delays or issues. I expect HNRG to announce a formal agreement within the next 4–5 weeks, and possibly during its upcoming Q4 earnings call on March 17th. Once a deal is announced, I expect HNRG shares to quickly re-rate above $15. Once the datacenter fully ramped up by FY 2027, I expect HNRG shares to reach $45.47.

Summary Hallador Energy is a coal company transitioning to an independent power producer, focusing on long-term contracts and creating shareholder value.
