I'm Convinced Energy Is The Most Misunderstood Investment Opportunity Of The Decade
I focus on big, long-term trends and dedicate energy to sectors with tremendous value, even if they're temporarily out of favor. Earlier this year, defense contractors were extremely undervalued, but patient investors have since been rewarded as the market recognized their strengths. My investment style emphasizes patience and thesis-driven investing, which isn't for everyone. Index fund investors should stick to consistency and diversification.

Peabody Is Making The Powder River Basin Great Again
Peabody is pivoting back to its core U.S. thermal coal assets, capitalizing on surging electricity demand from data centers and a supportive political environment. Termination of the Anglo deal refocuses Peabody on maximizing shareholder returns, with a clean balance sheet and a commitment to return 65%+ of free cash flow, primarily via buybacks. The Powder River Basin assets are underappreciated, generating strong free cash flow and offering rare earth element upside that could eclipse Peabody's current enterprise value.

Peabody Energy: Earnings Power Reveals Hidden Value
Peabody Energy is deeply undervalued, trading at just 0.55 times tangible book value despite improved earnings power and strategic positioning. The termination of the purchase agreement for Anglo-American's Australian coal mines removes a major financial burden and potential loss-making assets from BTU's balance sheet. Peabody now has the opportunity to capitalize on a favorable U.S. market and policy environment without the burden of additional debt.

Peabody Energy: A Weak Q2, But Still Some Bright Spots
Peabody Energy Corporation's Q2 2025 results were weak, with significant margin declines and a miss on earnings, but some cost and sales guidance improved. The Anglo American coal asset deal remains uncertain due to operational issues, but renegotiation or cancellation is likely and would benefit Peabody's balance sheet. Centurion Mine is progressing ahead of schedule and will enhance Peabody's production and margins once operational, supporting future EBITDA growth.
