BTU at a glance
Every figure here comes from the same audited fundamentals behind the score. Charts drawn from data the score does not use say so on the card.
Analyst estimate revisions
| 30-day change | -0.6% |
|---|---|
| 90-day change | +2.6% |
| Forward EPS estimate | $2.84 |
Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect BTU to earn is drifting higher (+2.6%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A fiscal-year roll fell inside this window: the forward horizon moved on to the next financial year, which shifts the earnings figure without any analyst changing their view. That step is excluded, so the number above covers the rest of the window rather than all of it.
A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

Peabody Energy Corporation (BTU): score, valuation & FAQ
Peabody Energy Corporation (BTU) is a Thermal Coal company that scores 13 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a weak reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are D/E (A) and P/S (A-), while Rev (D+) and FCF (F) rate weaker.
Is BTU a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores BTU 13 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a weak reading. That is driven by D/E (A) and P/S (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of Peabody Energy Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does BTU score 13 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on quality at 30.6 out of 100, with value the weakest pillar at 5.1 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. BTU earns its highest marks on D/E (A) and P/S (A-), and is held back by Rev (D+) and FCF (F). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so BTU is measured against Thermal Coal peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is BTU overvalued or undervalued?
We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for BTU — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.
What are the main risks of investing in BTU?
Free cash flow is negative (-$192m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Currently unprofitable (margin -5.3%) — path to GAAP profitability is the core thesis risk. ROE -7% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
