Peabody Energy: A 46% Discount To Reality

BTU is deeply undervalued, trading at 6x 2026 earnings and a 46% discount to book, with zero net debt and strong cash reserves. BTU remains highly profitable, generating over $1.5B in free cash flow in seaborne thermal lines and aggressively returning capital to shareholders via buybacks. Trump's return to office is a major tailwind, with regulatory rollbacks and friendlier coal policies extending the industry's runway.

My Favorite Place To Buy Stocks - And It's Not Even Close

Inflation isn't going away. Tariffs, a weaker dollar, and secular trends support my "higher for longer" thesis, putting pressure on real income. Most sectors are expensive. Energy stands out with value, yield, and inflation-fighting power, despite short-term OPEC and growth fears. Nearly 40% of my portfolio is in energy. I'm doubling down on diversified exposure as the setup gets more compelling with each passing month.

Peabody Energy Corporation: A Business-Changing Acquisition

Peabody's acquisition of Australian metallurgical coal assets transforms its business model, offering higher-margin revenue streams and diversification beyond thermal coal. Despite recent earnings declines due to lower coal prices, Peabody's EV/EBITDA and P/CF ratios suggest the stock is attractively undervalued with strong cash generation. My DCF and peer multiples analysis both indicate significant upside potential, while the company's robust balance sheet provides resilience against short-term risks.

Peabody Energy Corporation's stock has underperformed due to weak coal prices and uncertainty over the Anglo American coal asset acquisition. The Anglo deal, if debt-financed, would strain Peabody's balance sheet, raising concerns about leverage amid volatile coal markets and operational risks. Q1 2025 results showed strong cost control and solid EBITDA, especially from U.S. thermal segments with long-term contracts, despite margin pressures.
