Smart Money Is Betting Big In BTU Options

First Trust Global Wind Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FAN#NYSE">FAN</a>), which follows the wind energy industry, is up 4% since January and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/wind">6.6% in the past year</a>.
The coal industry, meanwhile, has been facing setbacks from the investment community for several years. 
The obvious shift to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/clean-energy">clean energy sources</a> hasn't yet been enough to declare coal's definitive demise, but concerns over climate change from fossil fuel burning have caused many firms and individuals to drop coal-related holdings.
However, continued dependence on coal burning abroad continues to be a lifeline for coal companies in the U.S., pushing the industry into a sharp contrast to the clean energy sector, which has struggled to outperform the market in 2024.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is Coal Dead? Some Don't Think So</h3>
In 2020, the market saw the shutdown of VanEck Vectors Coal ETF, which was at the time the only remaining ETF following the coal industry.
At the time, fund manager BlackRock Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) said the firm's actively managed funds would no longer hold shares of companies deriving more than 25% of revenues from the thermal coal business, Barrons <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/the-only-coal-etf-is-closing-what-it-means-for-investors-51608225200">reported</a>.
In turn, many investors and firms have switched towards environmentally-friendly energy stocks and ETFs.
Yet some in the industry continue to believe there's a case for investing in coal.
In January of this year, Range ETFs, a firm dedicated to running ETFs around niche themes, launched the Range Global Coal Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COAL#NYSE">COAL</a>) which provides exposure to companies involved in the production, exploration, development, transportation, and distribution of coal.
Since its launch, the price of the ETF oscillated between $21 and $26 and is $22.6 at the time of this writing, with year-to-date gains of 0.86%.
In an investment document, Range claims there is still an investment case for coal, in spite of an obvious global trend to detach from it.
Demand for coal actually grew on a global scale between 2021 and 2022, led by China and India, according to the International Energy Agency.
Coal burning represents 16.2% of the total utility-scale electricity generation in the U.S., according to the latest data from the Energy Information Administration and 36% on a global scale.
In the U.S., the firm says, "‘energy security' as one element of national security." This means that the government will continue to guarantee the availability of reliable energy sources to make up for possible gaps in energy supply stemming from green energy production.

In June, the coal industry was affected by election results in India, which gave investors the idea that the country might not continue with a plan to upsize its coal use, though <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39173971/coal-stocks-take-a-breather-as-trading-sentiment-sours-in-commodities-markets-was-the-election-in-in">some analysts called it a natural market correction</a> from an "overbought" sector.
The balance between trends running against "dirty" energy sources and short-term tailwinds for the coal industry have resulted in varying performances for some of its largest players over the past year.
<ul>
<li>Shares of Peabody Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>), which is the largest coal producer in the U.S. are down 7.7% since January but up 2.3% in the past year.</li>
<li>The second largest producer, Arch Resources Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARCH#NYSE">ARCH</a>) has performed a lot worse in 2024, with shares down over 24% since January. According <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/08/40363492/top-3-energy-stocks-that-may-rocket-higher-this-quarter">to data from Benzinga Pro</a>, the stock appears oversold and its share price could rise this year.</li>
<li>Warrior Met Coal Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCC#NYSE">HCC</a>) shares are up 49% in the last year.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wind Beats Solar In 2024</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/40379430">A Benzinga technical analysis from this week</a> showed that EV maker Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could be up for a rebound after losing almost 13% of its value since January.
Other companies in the clean energy sector, however, could be struggling more.
Shares in the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NASDAQ">ICLN</a>) are stuck in a pattern that technical analysts call the "death cross," which occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below its long-term moving average of 200 days. The fund is down 8% since January and 12% in the last year.
 The solar energy sector has been struggling more than wind. Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>), which follows the solar sector, has also performed poorly in recent periods. The fund is down 22% since January and 30% in the past year.

The market for coal used to make steel is in the summer doldrums, but supply outages in Australia and the United States are providing underlying tightness that could cause prices to spike in the late summer and fall once Asian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/steel">steelmakers start restocking.</a>
Mine fires in Australia and West Virginia and a lock and dam closure in Alabama are causing latent tightness that won't become visible until India and China come back to the market between August and October. Once they do, prices are likely to move higher but remain capped below record highs by a sluggish global economy.&nbsp;
"The supply side looks very supportive of met coal prices,"&nbsp;John Berman, chief investment officer with natural resources&nbsp;investment management&nbsp;company&nbsp;Berman Capital Group, told Benzinga. "It's the demand side that is potentially the brakes on any price rally."

Australia's Grosvenor Outage
Among the top concerns of the market right now is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/07/39623378/anglo-americans-coal-asset-sale-faces-hurdle-after-fire-at-major-mine">the outage</a> at Anglo American's (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NGLOY#OTC">NGLOY</a>) Grosvenor Mine, which supplies more than 1% of global seaborne steelmaking coal.
An explosion and fire forced the company to suspend production at the mine late last month, knocking out up to 3 million tons of Anglo&#8217;s total expected 15-17 million metric tons of steelmaking coal output for 2024. On Thursday, the miner revised that guidance to 14-15.5 million metric tons.
The day after the explosion, Anglo said the outage could last several months because of likely damage underground.
Last week, Australian mining union officials said they were worried that Grosvenor might close permanently, although they acknowledged that Anglo was trying to recover the mine.
Metallurgical coal prices initially jumped on the Grosvenor news, but then retreated as Anglo reportedly assured customers of third quarter deliveries. However, the company reportedly said it wouldn't be able to meet delivery obligations in the fourth quarter.
"While the incident will continue to provide support and tighten supply, it appears that part of the initial price rally was speculative,"&nbsp;RBC Capital Markets&nbsp;said in a note.
US River Transportation Outage
In the United States, the Army Corp of Engineers closed the Holt Lock and Dam on the Black Warrior River in Alabama on June 22 as a safety precaution because of cracks and leaks. The river is a key artery for barge transportation of coal.
The infrastructure will be closed for three to five months while a new steel-enforced bulkhead can be manufactured, Army engineers said.
The closure means Peabody Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/02/37295857/warrior-met-coals-ballooning-development-costs-prompt-analysts-to-rethink-projectio">Warrior Met Coal Inc. </a>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCC#NYSE">HCC</a>) will have to find alternate transportation, Matthew Warder, an analyst with The Coal Trader newsletter, told Benzinga. The companies didn't respond when asked for comment.
US Longview Mine Outage
On June 30, the Longview Mine in West Virginia caught fire, according to media reports. The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration is investigating the incident. 
As of Friday, the mine remained out of commission, sources familiar with the matter told Benzinga. One of the sources said the mine could reopen this week while another said workers had reentered the mine last week.
Industry chatter suggests the mine won't be back to full production for months, although one of the sources said it is the operator's goal to restart mine production as soon as possible.
The mine operator,&nbsp;Allegheny Metallurgical, didn't respond to requests for comment. Privately held Allegheny is a partnership between privately held U.S.-based companies&nbsp;American Metals &amp; Coal International Inc.&nbsp;and&nbsp;JAZ Ventures, South Korea's&nbsp;Posco Holdings&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKX#NYSE">PKX</a>) and Japan's&nbsp;Itochu Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITOCY#OTC">ITOCY</a>) .
Based on a similar incident at Peabody's Shoal Creek Mine last year, Warder said the Longview outage could keep 0.5-1.5 million short tons of high volatile metallurgical coal off the market in 2024 and up to 3.5 million short tons off next year if the mine remains offline.
Higher Prices to Benefit Miners
The three incidents have tightened metallurgical coal supply, but at the moment there isn't a strong upward price reaction because steelmakers in India, China, Europe and Brazil aren't yet looking to make purchases on the spot market to replenish their stocks. Meanwhile, U.S. coking coal buyers are just getting their annual procurement process started this month.
"This is a very sleepy time in the market," Warder said.
Late last month, Australian premium coking coal futures, an industry benchmark, could be seen at $233 per metric ton, a far cry from their record high above $360 set in October.
When heavyweight steel producers India and China come back to the market between August and October, the demand may push prices higher than they would otherwise go if not for the production outages in Australia and the United States.
Warder thinks $300 steelmaking coal prices are in play sometime in the fall, although the market won't get back to the highs from the previous year because of a weaker Chinese economy.
"I think we could see $300 in the short term once the restocking season gets underway, although I don't know how sustainable that price will be with current demand," Berman said, adding that "$360, I think, is very unlikely without robust Chinese demand this year."
Firmer prices stand to benefit coking coal producers, Warder said.
That includes BHP and Alpha Metallurgical Resources Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMR#NYSE">AMR</a>), he added. 
Even with Grosvenor out, Anglo American still stands to benefit from its other metallurgical coal production, he said. And Warrior can use other transportation to get its coal to market, meaning the dam and lock outage isn't a showstopper for the company, he said. Peabody will also be able to get its Alabama coal to market, while it also produces Australian coal to sell, he said.
Berman agrees that Warrior and Alpha will be among the biggest beneficiaries as prices move higher. He also adds Australian miner&nbsp;Whitehaven Coal Ltd.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHITF#OTC">WHITF</a>) to the list.
"Warrior will likely produce a little more free cash flow through the end of this year than I was expecting," Berman says.

Coal Prices Set To Rise When Restocking Begins After US, Australia Mine Outages

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors rely on traditional forms of analysis on key valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are undervalued, leaving room for profits.
Zacks has developed the innovative Style Scores system to highlight stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will be interested in stocks with great grades in the &quot;Value&quot; category. When paired with a high Zacks Rank, &quot;A&quot; grades in the Value category are among the strongest value stocks on the market today.
One company to watch right now is Peabody Energy (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/btu#NYSE">BTU</a>). BTU is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy), as well as a Value grade of A.
Investors should also recognize that BTU has a P/B ratio of 0.86. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock&#39;s market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. This stock&#39;s P/B looks attractive against its industry&#39;s average P/B of 1.61. BTU&#39;s P/B has been as high as 0.99 and as low as 0.77, with a median of 0.87, over the past year.
Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock&#39;s price with the company&#39;s sales. Some people prefer this metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement. This means it could be a truer performance indicator. BTU has a P/S ratio of 0.66. This compares to its industry&#39;s average P/S of 0.97.
Finally, investors will want to recognize that BTU has a P/CF ratio of 3.80.
