Peabody Energy stock (BTU) jumps 6% as tighter PRB coal market grabs attention
Peabody Energy shares rose 6.2% to $32.53 Tuesday afternoon after an industry report flagged tighter Powder River Basin coal supply for 2026. Some coal-fired plants slated to close in 2025 will remain online into early 2026 under federal orders. Nearly all of Peabody’s expected 2026 production is already under contract. Traders await the Jan. 13 EIA outlook for further pricing signals.
