Peabody Swoons on Q3 Figures

Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $(32.8) million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $(70.1) million, or $(0.58) per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Peabody reported Adjusted EBITDA of $97.5 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $99.5 million in the prior-year quarter.
"The third quarter demonstrated improving momentum across the portfolio with all segments reporting positive Adjusted EBITDA while our seaborne operations benefited from higher pricing. During the quarter, we worked through higher-cost faulted conditions at Centurion, which slowed advance rates, although the mine still reached its third quarter sales targets," said CEO Jim Grech.
"Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, our priorities remain operating safely, clearing the faulted zone at Centurion, and improving free cash flow as seaborne markets remain strong."
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $97.5 million, reflecting improved results across thermal operations and higher seaborne pricing.
Seaborne Thermal Adjusted EBITDA increased 26 percent quarter over quarter to $65.5 million, while margin per ton increased to $21.05 on higher realized export prices.
BTU shares fell $3.86, or 18.7%, to $16.80.
