Having recently examined Arch Coal (NYSE:ACI) and Cloud Peak Energy (NYSE:CLD), it's time to examine the largest U.S. coal producer – Peabody Energy (NYSE:BTU).
There is a lot to like about Peabody at first glance, as this company
has attractive U.S. thermal coal exposure (with minimal Appalachian
reserves) and heavily China-leveraged met coal exposure.
On the other hand, Peabody is arguably the most well-respected coal
miner out there (and maybe one of the best-regarded natural resource
companies overall) and investors and analysts consistently award the
stock a higher multiple than its peers. Consequently, while Peabody may
the highest-quality coal stock to own today, the upside in these shares
to a thermal (and/or met) coal recovery doesn't seem as great as in its
rivals.
