Peabody Energy

Peabody Energy is among the world’s largest Coal and Consumable Fuels sector businesses in the world. Peabody Energy’s employees generate $559.0M in profits on $5.274B of revenue. Global output in the Coal and Consumable Fuels business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years. Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Peabody Energy is determined to remain a market leader. Sectoral leadership in the Coal and Consumable Fuels segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Peabody Energy’s ticker symbol BTU has recently been trading near $48.70 a share. The Peabody Energy corporate headquarters in St Louis MO predicts Coal and Consumable Fuels profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $12.904B ensures sufficient liquidity. With a beta of 2.42, the company is more volatile than the market as a whole. When the average equity moves higher, Peabody Energy moves more aggressively.
