Alpha Metallurgical Resources Surprises Wall Street with Major Q2 Earnings Beat and Resumes Share Buybacks
Alpha Metallurgical Resources reported a much smaller-than-expected loss for the second quarter of 2025, significantly beating analyst earnings per share (EPS) estimates. The company posted a net loss of $0.38 per share, while analysts had anticipated a loss of around $2.27 to $2.76 per share. This notable outperformance was attributed to the best quarterly cost of coal sales since 2021, prompting the company to lower its cost guidance for the year and announce the resumption of its share buyback program after a five-quarter suspension.
