Warrior Met Coal (ISIN US93627C1018) was at EUR 81.62 in after-hours trading at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026, up 2.03 percent versus the prior close of EUR 80.00.

RBC lifts its target by USD 20.00
The RBC change adds USD 20.00 to the previous target, a 22.22 percent increase from USD 90.00. The rating stayed at Sector Perform, so the higher target did not come with a stronger published recommendation.
MarketBeat reported on October 8, 2026, that eight research firms held a Moderate Buy consensus, split between four Buy ratings and four Hold ratings. Its average 12-month target was USD 103.83, below RBC's USD 110.00 target, according to MarketBeat.
Second-quarter revenue rose 71.30 percent
Warrior Met Coal reported USD 509.69 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 71.30 percent from the prior-year quarter. Diluted earnings per share reached USD 1.65 versus a USD 1.40 consensus estimate, a USD 0.25 beat, according to MarketBeat. The standardized financial statements show USD 87.43 million of net income and USD 132.28 million of operating cash flow for the same quarter.
What does the target change mean for HCC?
The target revision gives the stock a higher analyst reference point, but the current market evidence remains tied to steelmaking coal demand and the Blue Creek ramp-up. The second-quarter revenue figure was USD 509.69 million, compared with a USD 488.46 million consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat. That USD 21.23 million revenue gap and the 71.30 percent year-over-year increase explain why the earnings comparison remains central to the valuation debate.
Three milestones shape the next update
On July 28, 2026, Warrior Met Coal announced a regular quarterly dividend of USD 0.08 per share, as listed by MarketScreener. On August 5, 2026, the company reported second-quarter revenue of USD 509.69 million and diluted earnings per share of USD 1.65, according to MarketBeat. On September 16, 2026, RBC raised its target to USD 110.00 from USD 90.00, according to MarketScreener.
Next date is November 4
