Peabody Energy stock (ISIN US7045511000) was last at USD 25.43 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.27 percent on the session. The next concrete checkpoint is the company's Q3 report scheduled for October 29, 2026, before the market opens, according to MarketBeat. For investors, the date puts Centurion execution and coal pricing back at the center of the valuation debate.

Q2 revenue rose 12.7 percent

Peabody's latest reported quarter combined higher sales with a deeper per-share loss. MarketBeat reported that quarterly revenue rose 12.7 percent year over year to USD 1 billion, while diluted EPS came in at USD -0.74 against a USD -0.38 consensus, a USD 0.36 shortfall.

The financial statement trend adds a second warning signal: finance data show Q2 2026 net income of USD -85.9 million and a net margin of -9.0 percent, after Q1 net income of USD -25.4 million and a net margin of -3.0 percent. Revenue, however, increased from USD 973.3 million in Q1 to USD 1.0032 billion in Q2, leaving volume and cost control as the key operating questions for the October report.

Consensus target stays above the stock

The valuation picture remains divided. MarketBeat said six analysts carry a consensus Hold rating, with one Sell, three Hold and two Buy ratings. Their average 12-month price target is USD 33.88, which lies 33.2 percent above the USD 25.43 price.

BTU's current market capitalization is USD 3.1 billion, while the October 6 session volume reached 1,960,034 shares. The stock's 52-week range is USD 20.06 to USD 41.14, so the latest price sits USD 15.71 below the yearly high and USD 5.37 above the low.

Centurion remains the execution test

Peabody operates thermal and metallurgical coal mines in the United States and Australia, according to the company's investor information. The Centurion ramp-up matters because the latest quarter's loss came alongside the sharper earnings miss, making production reliability and startup costs important variables for the next report.

A September 9 filing confirms that Peabody presented strategic priorities, business developments and recent trends at the Jefferies Global Industrials Conference, according to the SEC. The filing also identifies BTU common stock as registered on the New York Stock Exchange.
