Peabody Prices $225 Million Convertible Senior Notes OfferingMay 28, 2026 9:17 PM
PR Newswire (US) ST. LOUIS, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today announced the pricing of its offering of $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.50% convertible senior notes due 2031 (the "notes") in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The issuance and sale of the notes is scheduled to settle on June 2, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Peabody also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $25,000,000 principal amount of notes.The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Peabody and will accrue interest at a rate of 0.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2026. The notes will mature on June 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before December 1, 2030, noteholders will have the right to convert their notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. At any time from, and including, December 1, 2030, noteholders may convert their notes at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. Peabody will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at Peabody's election. The initial conversion rate is 26.0970 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $38.32 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% over the U.S. composite volume weighted average price of Peabody's common stock from 9:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 28, 2026, which was $28.9197 per share. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.Peabody may not redeem the notes prior to June 5, 2029, except in the event of a cleanup redemption (as defined below). The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at Peabody's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 5, 2029 and on or before the 31st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of Peabody's common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.Peabody may redeem for cash all, but not less than all, of the notes at any time if the amount of the notes that remains outstanding is less than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes initially issued under the indenture and certain other conditions are satisfied (a "cleanup redemption"). The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.If certain corporate events that constitute a "fundamental change" occur, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require Peabody to repurchase their notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.Peabody estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $218.9 million (or approximately $243.3 million if the initial purchasers fully exercise their option to purchase additional notes), after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and Peabody's estimated offering expenses. Peabody intends to use approximately $15.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to fund the cost of entering into capped call transactions (as described below) and, together with available cash, to repurchase approximately $241.2 million aggregate principal amount of Peabody's outstanding 3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") for a cash purchase price of approximately $388.8 million.In connection with Peabody's repurchases of the 2028 Notes, Peabody expects that holders of the 2028 Notes who agree to have their 2028 Notes repurchased and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such 2028 Notes (the "hedged holders") will unwind all or part of their hedge positions by buying Peabody's common stock and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to Peabody's common stock. The amount of Peabody's common stock to be purchased by the hedged holders or the notional number of shares of Peabody's common stock underlying such derivative transactions may be substantial in relation to the historic average daily trading volume of Peabody's common stock. This activity by the hedged holders could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Peabody's common stock, including concurrently with the pricing of the notes, resulting in a higher effective conversion price of the notes. Peabody cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the notes or Peabody's common stock and the corresponding effect on the initial conversion price of the notes.In connection with the pricing of the notes, Peabody entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to Peabody's common stock upon any conversion of the notes prior to May 30, 2030, and/or offset any potential cash payments Peabody is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be $50.6095 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 75.0% over the U.S. composite volume weighted average price of Peabody's common stock from 9:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 28, 2026 (which was $28.9197 per share), and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. The capped call transactions will expire over a period of trading days beginning on April 17, 2030. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, then Peabody expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.Peabody has been advised that, in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Peabody's common stock and/or purchase shares of Peabody common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Peabody's common stock or the notes at that time.In addition, the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Peabody's common stock and/or  purchasing or selling Peabody's common stock or other securities of Peabody in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so (x) on each exercise date for the capped call transactions, which are expected to occur on each trading day during the 30 trading day period beginning on April 17, 2030 and (y) following any early conversion of the notes, any repurchase of the notes by Peabody on any fundamental change repurchase date, any redemption date or any other date on which the notes are repurchased by Peabody, in each case if Peabody exercises the relevant election to terminate the corresponding portion of the capped call transactions). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Peabody's common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs following conversion or during any observation period related to a conversion of the notes, it could affect the number of shares and/or value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes.The notes were and will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the notes or any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, nor will there be any sale of the notes or any such shares, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.  This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption or an offer to purchase with respect to the 2028 notes.Peabody is a leading coal producer, providing essential products for the production of affordable, reliable energy and steel.

The company implemented a comprehensive response plan focused on proactive strata management, targeted equipment optimization, and deployment of additional technical and operational resources. The Company anticipates completing commissioning and production ramp-up in the second quarter, and running at full longwall production rates throughout the second half of the year.The company expects Centurion to sell approximately 0.3 million tons in the second quarter. The longwall move initially planned for the fourth quarter is now expected in early 2027, leading to full year 2026 volume of 2.5 million tons compared to the original 3.5 million ton expectation."While this was not the start we had anticipated, we quickly mobilized the most experienced engineering and operating personnel to address the challenges," said Mr. Grech.

Email: ir@peabodyenergy.com  1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenue. Revenue per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton are equal to revenue by segment and Adjusted EBITDA by segment, respectively, divided by segment tons sold. Costs per Ton is equal to Revenue per Ton less Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton. Management believes Costs per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton best reflect controllable costs and operating results at the reportable segment level. We consider all measures reported on a per ton basis, as well as Adjusted EBITDA margin, to be operating/statistical measures.

Key Operational and Financial Metrics Meet or Exceed 2025 Full-Year Guidance Centurion Longwall Mining Ahead of ScheduleU.S. Policy and Market Tailwinds Supportive of Increasing Coal UseST. LOUIS, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today reported fourth quarter net income attributable to common stockholders of $10.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $30.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Peabody had Adjusted EBITDA1 of $118.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $176.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.Full-year 2025 revenue totaled $3,861.5 million compared to $4,236.7 million in the prior year in the face of sharply lower seaborne coal prices. Full-year 2025 net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $(52.9) million, or $(0.43) per diluted share, compared to $370.9 million, or $2.70 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $454.9 million compared to $871.7 million in the prior year."Peabody's continued strong operational performance in the fourth quarter capped an excellent year with record safety and environmental results, increased volumes and focused cost control," said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech. "Against a new backdrop of rising seaborne metallurgical coal prices, we are pleased to announce the accelerated start of longwall operations this week at our flagship Centurion mine, which materially upgrades both the quantity and quality of our steelmaking coal production. And U.S. market conditions remain highly favorable for our thermal coal platform with growing interest in increased coal generation, expanding West Coast export capabilities and potential rare earth/critical mineral opportunities."Fourth Quarter and Full Year HighlightsPeabody reported full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $455 million, despite sharply lower seaborne coal prices in 2025. The company generated operating cash flow from continuing operations of $336 million and reported $575 million of Cash and Cash Equivalents at December 31, 2025. Peabody's full-year results met or exceeded original full-year guidance across seven of eight segment volume and cost metrics.Peabody's operations achieved a global TRIFR of 0.71 per 200,000 hours worked, setting an all-time record for the lowest incidence rate in the Company's history for the second consecutive year, surpassing the previous year's record low of 0.81. Peabody also reclaimed approximately two acres for every acre disturbed, continuing its track record of environmental excellence.Centurion's longwall is anticipated to begin cutting coal this week, two months ahead of schedule, marking a major milestone and strengthening Peabody's seaborne metallurgical segment with an estimated 3.5 million tons of premium low vol hard coking coal production in 2026, ramping up to 4.7 million tons in 2028.Mr. Grech was appointed Chair of the National Coal Council (NCC). A key priority of the NCC will be to advise the Administration on ways to expand use of coal-fueled generation, build new coal plants, and export greater quantities of U.S. coal.Supportive U.S. policy and market conditions including higher natural gas prices, and AI and data-center-driven demand for dispatchable power resulted in increased coal plant utilization and supported higher volumes across the U.S. thermal coal portfolio, led by 85 million tons from our Powder River Basin mines.The company advanced projects relating to evaluation of rare earth element and critical mineral potential, power generation from coal mine gas at Centurion, and development of 3 GW of renewable energy projects on former mined lands in the Midwest.Peabody declared a $0.075 per share dividend on Feb. 5, 2026, payable on Mar. 10, 2026 to shareholders of record on Feb. 23, 2026.Fourth Quarter Segment PerformanceSeaborne Thermal

The segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $18.1 million for the quarter and $71.4 million for 2025.Balance Sheet/Liquidity  Peabody ended the year with a strong financial position, supported by $336 million of operating cash flow from continuing operations in 2025 and $575 million of Cash and Cash Equivalents at December 31, 2025. The Company maintained substantial liquidity throughout the year, ensuring the financial flexibility to support its shareholder return framework and advance strategic growth initiatives."Peabody has continued to demonstrate balance sheet strength while investing approximately $750 million in recent years to develop and expand Centurion, which will significantly increase our leverage to the premium hard coking coal segment of the metallurgical market," said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mark Spurbeck. "With sustained higher met coal realizations and lower capital expenditures, Peabody will be better positioned to return additional free cash flow to shareholders, consistent with our established return framework."Centurion Longwall Mining Ahead of ScheduleLongwall mining is anticipated to begin this week at Centurion, Peabody's flagship tier-one premium hard coking coal mine in Australia's Bowen Basin. The startup comes two months ahead of its original target and strengthens Peabody's position in the seaborne metallurgical coal market."With a low cost structure, premium price realizations and a long mine life, Centurion immediately vaults to the top of Peabody's coal operations and establishes a multi-decade foundation for shareholder value creation," said Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech. "Full operations at Centurion follow years of strategic investment, and investors will now begin to benefit from this premier addition to the portfolio."Centurion will significantly enhance Peabody's metallurgical coal platform with an average annual production of 4.7 million tons at estimated costs of $105 per ton (2024 dollars) over a 25-year-plus mine life. The mine benefits from an expanded integrated mine plan of 140 million tons in the coveted Goonyella Middle Seam. Centurion is targeted to deliver 3.5 million tons in 2026, ramping to its targeted 4.7-million-ton annual run rate by 2028.Centurion's product quality and proximity to key demand nodes in Asia results in full benchmark premium hard coking coal pricing. Peabody's segment-wide metallurgical coal realizations are expected to improve meaningfully from approximately 70 percent of benchmark in 2025 to 80 percent in 2026, with the potential to exceed that level as Centurion reaches full scale. The company now assesses Centurion's net present value at $2.1 billion at $225 per tonne benchmark pricing, an increase of more than 30 percent over the estimate of late 2024.Rare Earth Elements and Critical Mineral AdvancementPeabody continues to pursue rare earth element (REE) and critical mineral (CM) opportunities from "unconventional" deposits, with substantial testing primarily at its Powder River Basin operations. In addition to the standard array of light rare earth elements, current assessments indicate that the company's large volumes of selective mining feedstock contain an attractive proportion of heavy rare earths including yttrium, dysprosium and terbium, as well as other critical minerals such as germanium, gallium and scandium.Peabody has advanced multiple REE/CM workstreams since mid-2025:The company is conducting extensive testing to evaluate mineral types and concentrations. Analysis to date of the targeted PRB feedstocks indicates critical mineral oxide concentrations (CMOCs) ranging from 428 — 1,669 ppm (parts per million) on a dry-ash basis.Heavy rare earths account for an estimated 21 – 28 percent of CMOCs.Additionally, germanium and gallium concentrations in select mining areas are attractive.Peabody has been recommended by the Wyoming Energy Authority to receive funding of $6.25 million for a pilot plant using Peabody's PRB coal for REE/CM processing.Peabody is developing flowsheets in conjunction with technology partners to support techno-economic assessments and produce rare earth products.The company is continuing collaboration with government agencies and departments focused on accelerating timelines to production.While Peabody's rare earth and critical minerals initiative is in early stages, the company is encouraged by the progress to date and has expanded the scope of activities to evaluate commercial potential.Focus Areas for 2026"As we begin 2026, Peabody continues to advance our transition to greater metallurgical coal production while building on our leadership position in U.S. energy coal," said Mr. Grech. "Our investment thesis is supported by a strengthened portfolio, disciplined capital allocation framework, and increasing opportunities across both steelmaking coal and U.S. energy markets. In 2026, we are focused on ramping up Centurion production, capitalizing on rising electricity demand and returning to free cash flow generation," said Mr. Grech.Peabody's 2026 priorities include:Driving safe, reliable and efficient operations across the companyAchieving full operational performance at CenturionContinuing the strong Adjusted EBITDA-to-capex margins from Peabody's high-cash-flowing thermal coal assetsPreserving balance sheet strength and increasing free cash flow to support shareholder returnsProgressing workstreams to maximize commercial opportunities using the company's land/coal resourcesFirst Quarter 2026 Outlook Seaborne ThermalSeaborne Thermal volumes are expected to be 2.8 million tons, including 1.7 million export tons. 0.2 million export tons are priced at $101.05 per ton, and 0.7 million tons of Newcastle product and 0.8 million tons of high ash product are unpriced. Sales volume is expected to be lower in the first quarter due to sequencing at the Wilpinjong Mine, with segment costs anticipated to be $51-$56 per ton.Seaborne MetallurgicalSeaborne met volumes are expected to be 2.4 million tons and are expected to achieve approximately 75 percent of the premium hard coking coal price index. Costs are anticipated to be $117-$122 per ton. Longwall moves are planned at Metropolitan and Shoal Creek in the quarter.U.S. ThermalPRB volume is expected to be approximately 21 million tons at an average price of $13.40 per ton and costs of approximately $11.75-$12.25 per ton.Other U.S. Thermal volume is expected to be approximately 3.3 million tons at an average price of $54.50 per ton and costs of approximately $45-$49 per ton.Today's earnings call is scheduled for 10 a.m. CT and can be accessed via the company's website at PeabodyEnergy.com.Peabody (NYSE: BTU) is a leading coal producer, providing essential products for the production of affordable, reliable energy and steel.

ir@peabodyenergy.com _______________________________1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to segment Adjusted EBITDA (excluding insurance recoveries) divided by segment revenue. Revenue per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton are equal to revenue by segment and Adjusted EBITDA by segment (excluding insurance recoveries), respectively, divided by segment tons sold. Costs per Ton is equal to Revenue per Ton less Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton. Management believes Costs per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton best reflect controllable costs and operating results at the reportable segment level.

Data Center Surge Reaches India as American Tech Giants Invest Billions

Megacities in southern India are attracting enormous investments to help build artificial intelligence infrastructure to serve the world’s most data-hungry country.

Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s chief executive, was striding across a stage in New Delhi, extolling his company’s $17.5 billion investment in artificial intelligence and the benefits it would bring to his native country’s 1.4 billion people. While he was speaking, Amazon made a rival announcement, promising to throw $35 billion into A.I.-driven projects across India.

A flood of money for data centers, cloud computing and other hardware has come to India. Two months before the near-simultaneous Microsoft-Amazon announcements, Google committed $15 billion to data centers in partnerships with two of India’s biggest conglomerates, the Adani Group and Bharti Airtel.
That $67.5 billion, to be spent over the next five years, is just the crest of a wave. A fourth American tech giant, Meta, is having a plant built near Google’s, as are India’s other biggest industrial houses, Reliance and Tata.

“This is going to be one of the largest single-sector investments that India’s ever seen,” said Somnath Mukherjee, chief investment officer at ASK Wealth Advisors in Mumbai.

These investments are vast in proportion to everything except for other A.I.-related investments. Trillions of dollars are at stake in this boom worldwide. In India, companies see a market with lots of room to run.

India hosts nearly 20 percent of the world’s data but only 3 percent of its storage. The United States has vastly more data centers than India, but India’s population, already the largest on the planet, is still growing, and its economy is expanding even faster.

“India is the largest consumer of data in the world, but with barely 5 percent of American data capacity,” Mr. Mukherjee said.
The enormous bets on India by Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Meta underscore the seemingly limitless reaches of the A.I. boom. President Trump stunned India with 50 percent tariffs this summer, casting a pall over the friendly and longstanding economic relationship between the countries. Negotiators from Washington and New Delhi are still trying to find some accommodation on trade. Yet artificial intelligence money plows ahead.

India’s economic strengths and weaknesses look like a mismatch for the A.I. investments. The data centers will require cheap land, abundant electricity and water. India’s whole territory is packed with farmland, and much of it suffers from unreliable power grids and scarce water supply. It does need jobs for a huge and semi-idle labor force, but data centers require minimal staffing.

India Plans Coal Expansion Through 2047 Despite Supposed "Climate Goals"

It's funny how no one actually seems to care about climate change malarky when there isn't an environmentalist Democrat in the White House to try and impress...

Along that vein, India is weighing a major expansion of coal power that could extend new plant construction until at least 2047, according to people familiar with ongoing discussions between the power ministry and the government policy think tank NITI Aayog. The move would represent a sharp departure from earlier projections that expected additions to peak around 2035, Bloomberg reported this week.

The talks align with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s push to make the country energy independent and reclassify it as a developed nation by its 100th year of independence. With domestic reserves expected to last a century, officials see coal as the most reliable option to support that goal. Total capacity could reach 420 gigawatts by 2047 — roughly an 87% increase from today, the people said.

Bloomberg writes that the people added that the government still plans to expand renewable energy and battery storage, but warns that solar and battery supply chains remain vulnerable, especially because “China…dominates much of the supply chain for batteries and solar panels.” Some of the planned coal units would be geared toward balancing intermittent renewable generation, with the ministry offering incentives for plants that operate more flexibly.

Such a move risks complicating India’s climate commitments. NITI Aayog projections indicate that emissions must peak by 2045 to meet Modi’s target of becoming net zero by 2070. India, the world’s third-largest emitter, has yet to submit updated emissions-reduction strategies for 2035 under the Paris Agreement, arguing that richer nations should shoulder a bigger share of decarbonization to allow developing economies to grow.

Peabody describes its business as serving “global demand centers,” including Asian markets — and it lists “Asia-Pacific metallurgical and thermal coal” among its production/commerce segments.

According to export-data compilations, U.S. coal companies (among them Peabody) are exporting to India. One recent report expects U.S. coal exports to India to increase, especially after shifts in Chinese trade policies.

Peabody itself has flagged Asia (which includes India) as a “top destination” for its metallurgical / hard-coal output, particularly for its Australian-based coal mines/production.

What to keep in mind (Limitations & Complexity)

India imports both thermal coal (for power generation) and metallurgical coal / coking coal (for steel production). Peabody exports both types depending on the mine and product.

Global coal trade is volatile: demand in India, China and other markets fluctuates with coal-price, domestic coal production, regulatory/policy moves, and renewables competition. That affects how much imported coal India needs — so just because Peabody exports doesn’t guarantee steady volumes to India.

Shipping logistics, coal grade/quality, competition from other exporters, and regulatory factors all influence whether a given shipment ends up in India or elsewhere.

What This Means for BTU (if You’re Evaluating It)

Having export customers — including large coal-importing nations like India — gives Peabody a diversified demand base, beyond just U.S. power plants or domestic demand. That helps offset domestic coal headwinds.

If coal demand in India (or broader Asia) spikes — perhaps due to power/demand growth, shortages, or supply disruptions elsewhere — Peabody stands to benefit, since it can supply to those markets.

Pros, Cons, and Structural Headwinds

What works for BTU

Strong liquidity — even after a loss — gives BTU breathing room.

Dividend maintained: signals management confidence in cash flow, even in a weak cycle.

If coal demand or prices get a spike — from cold winter, energy-price stress, or supply disruptions — BTU’s coal-price sensitivity means it could rally hard.

Exit from the Anglo deal reduces exposure to a risky acquisition; avoids overpaying in a volatile market.

What weighs on BTU

Poor near-term earnings — coal demand globally is under pressure, which impacts thermal coal pricing and margins.

Structural headwinds: global decarbonization, weak long-term demand in developed power markets, ESG pressure — not just cyclicality.

The arbitration with Anglo adds legal and reputational risk, and may be a distraction for management.

Analyst sentiment is muted; limited near-term upside given current coal-price and macro headwinds.

What to Watch Next (Catalysts / Risk-Triggers)

Thermal coal benchmark prices (Asia, seaborne). Any unexpected cold snap, energy-price shock, or supply disruption — that would be BTC’s biggest trigger.

Global coal demand signals — e.g. China / India demand levels, utility switching from gas to coal (if gas spikes).

Regulatory & climate policy developments — tighter emissions laws or clean-energy incentives could further suppress coal demand or increase regulatory costs.

The outcome of the Anglo-American arbitration — any award or liability could affect BTU’s balance sheet or investor sentiment.

Next quarterly earnings / cash flow release — will reveal whether liquidity remains robust if coal market remains soft.

CDROM, Fine report(s) by you!!
My added thoughts:
1. BTU claims to be delving heavily into "Rare Minerals". That portrays
possible automatic increase in P/E from about 5 to 30. (IE - stock of $50+)
2. The possible need for more green energy in the future, would also cause
a drastic increase in need for coal to generate Electric Energy (EV, etc)'s "fuel".
And more thoughts.. such as The Trump Energy factor.
IMHO

What Analyst & Consensus Forecasts Say for BTU

According to one consensus report, BTU’s 2026 EPS is projected at around US$2.56/share, up from a negative or break-even 2025 baseline.

Some analysts — per a recent summary — are more bullish: there are estimates that converge around US$34.97/share price target (implying a significantly higher valuation), reflecting optimism about coal demand or operational improvements.

A “future growth” summary from one data provider forecasts earnings growth of over 109 % per annum and revenue growth of ~ 9.6%/yr, under a scenario of coal-market recovery and stable operations.

On the revenue side, analysts expect company-wide sales to rebound: some forecasts for the coming year place revenue around ~US$4.49 billion, up from a more depressed ~US$3.96 billion TTM (trailed twelve months) number.

What Recent Performance & Risks Raise Doubt

In Q3 2025, Peabody delivered an EPS of –US$0.58, a substantial miss vs consensus estimates of about –US$0.19.


Revenue for the quarter was US$1.01 B, down about 7% YoY — the company’s trailing-twelve-month revenue sits near US$3.96 B, down ~9% YoY.


Margins remain volatile, and swinging demand/prices for coal make earnings highly cyclical — meaning upside is conditional on coal-market recovery, demand stability, and favorable macro conditions.


What This Means (Scenarios & Key Variables)

Bullish/Recovery Scenario: If coal demand (domestic power generation + global thermal/met coal demand) rebounds, and pricing stabilizes — BTU could see earnings in the $2–3 per share range (as some forecasts suggest), which would imply a potentially large upside from current levels.

Base/Moderate Scenario: Revenue stabilizes, but coal prices stay moderate or cyclical — BTU may deliver modest profitability, with EPS perhaps in low single digits, and valuation driven more by commodity swings than stable growth.

Bear/Cyclical Risk Scenario: If demand weakens (energy transition pressure, regulatory headwinds, lower steel demand globally), coal prices drop, or execution misses — the company could continue to see negative or volatile earnings, making long-term upside uncertain.

Key Variables to Watch to Track Whether Forecasts Hold Up

Global demand for coal — especially thermal coal (power generation) and metallurgical coal (steel/industrial).

Price of coal and shipping/export demand, especially in major importing regions.

Domestic U.S. coal consumption trends (utilities, industrial demand, energy-security / capacity-needs).

Cost structure and margin pressure: mining/transportation costs, regulatory/ESG compliance costs.

Company-specific developments: mine ramp-ups (new projects), balance sheet strength, capital expenditure discipline, any write-downs or impairment risks.

My View: Where BTU Might Head in the Next 12–24 Months

If coal demand stays firm or rebounds — especially in the U.S. (power-generation, industrial demand) or globally (steel/industrial demand) — Peabody could do well: the Centurion ramp-up + favorable pricing + undervaluation could lead to strong outperformance.

If global/long-term energy transition accelerates, or coal-substitutes stay cheaper — BTU may underperform or see limited upside. The volatility risk is high — swings in coal prices or demand could whipsaw returns.

As a tactical or cyclical value/commodity play — BTU might be more appropriate as a satellite holding (small-to-medium allocation), rather than a core long-term holding — to capture cycles without being overly exposed to secular decline risk.

Who BTU Might Suit — and Who to Be Wary

Could suit investors who:

Believe in a near-term rebound in coal demand (power, industry, grid stress, energy security)

Are comfortable with cyclicality and commodity-price swings

Want value / contrarian exposure rather than growth/ESG-driven picks

Are looking for potential “recovery + yield + value” in energy commodities

May be risky for investors who:

Favor long-term growth, renewables, or ESG-aligned energy exposure

Are risk-averse to volatility or carbon-transition risk

Prefer stable cash flows and non-commodity businesses

What Looks Promising for Peabody (Bull / “Base” Case Drivers)
• Rising U.S. coal demand + tighter supply dynamics

Peabody recently forecast that U.S. coal consumption could increase meaningfully if coal-powered plants ramp back up utilization — potentially driving increased demand for thermal coal.

Some utilities appear to delay or slow down coal-plant retirements in certain regions due to concerns over grid reliability, power demand (especially with rising power usage from data-centers, EV charging, etc.), which could support domestic thermal coal demand.

In addition, Peabody is working on ramping up output from its newer/expanding assets — including its “Centurion Mine” — which is expected to begin longwall production in early 2026. That could materially boost its metallurgical coal (steel-making) output and revenues if demand holds up.

• Valuation gap / potential undervaluation

Some analysts and investors argue that BTU remains “cheap” on a variety of metrics relative to its peers and underlying asset value — making it appealing for those who believe in a coal rebound or cyclical recovery.

Given recent rallies and renewed interest in energy/commodity sectors (on the back of global energy demand and supply tightness), there’s a chance that the market re-rates coal producers — potentially giving Peabody upside if coal fundamentals align.
The Chronicle-Journal

• Strategic positioning & balance-sheet / operational flexibility

Some recent commentary suggests Peabody is leaning into U.S. coal demand, focusing on delivering to power-generation and industrial customers — that could help stabilize cash flows if the thermal-coal cycle improves.

Because coal remains a key “baseload” energy source in many regions, if natural gas prices rise or power demand surges (e.g., from data-centers, industrial demand, electrification), coal producers may see renewed relevance — giving companies like Peabody a structural “hedge” vs pure renewables-bets.

What Could Go Wrong (Risks / Bear Case)
• Long-term secular decline in coal demand / energy transition pressure

Despite short-term rebounds, global trends remain strongly tilted toward decarbonization, renewables, and cleaner energy. That structural shift makes long-term demand for coal uncertain — limiting how sustainable any rebound might be.

In particular, global coal-use trends may plateau or decline after short-term fluctuations, depending on how quickly renewables and natural gas displace coal — so any upside may be limited or volatile.

• Volatility in coal prices & demand (domestic and international)

Demand for metallurgical (steel-making) coal and thermal coal can swing dramatically based on global steel demand, industrial cycles, and regulatory developments. That volatility can easily hit earnings.

Recent Q3 2025 results for Peabody were weak: the company reported a net loss, partly due to terminated acquisition-related costs. That points to underlying cyclicality and risk if demand or prices soften.

• Regulatory, environmental, and social-license headwinds

Increasing global pressure to reduce coal use — from regulation, ESG investing trends, carbon taxes, and climate policy — could reduce demand or increase compliance costs for coal producers over time.

Long-term financing or investor sentiment may shift away from coal, making it harder for coal-linked firms to raise capital or attract investment — hurting expansion plans or operations.

• “All eggs in one basket”: commodity & cyclical risk

If coal becomes uncompetitive with other energy (gas, renewables), Peabody may see serious downside.

Heavy reliance on commodity cycles means earnings could swing from boom to bust. A poor external environment (weak coal demand, low steel output, renewable adoption) could hurt profits fast.

Recent Context & What’s Going On

Recap of the recent situation for Peabody:

Peabody recently reported its Q3 2025 results: net loss of about $70.1 million (~ $0.58/share), accompanied by adjusted EBITDA of about $99.5 million. The loss included roughly $54 million in acquisition-termination costs. Revenue declined ~7 % year-over-year, but there was sequential improvement and raised targets for Q4 for certain business segments (seaborne met, seaborne thermal, and PRB segments).

Analysts and commentary are increasingly pointing to improved operational execution and margin improvement potential. Some revisions have lifted the one-year price target materially (average price target around $32.30, up from earlier ~ $21.61) based on expectations for stronger demand, improved cost structure, and a rebound in coal and export demand.

The company is advancing a project called Centurion Mine (in Queensland) which management says will begin longwall production in early 2026, boosting supply of premium hard-coking/steelmaking coal shipments (met coal) and improving realizations in that segment.

The macro environment is volatile for coal: geopolitical / policy / energy-transition factors, demand dynamics in global coal/steel markets / China & Asia demand cycles, and regulation all remain material. Peabody seems to be leaning on U.S. thermal coal demand plus seaborne thermal & met exposure.

Key Catalysts & What to Watch

Here are the main items to watch closely for Peabody in the next half-year:

Catalyst Why It Matters
Centurion Mine ramp schedule & output>>>The Centurion Mine longwall operations are supposed to begin around early 2026; success here could materially boost the metallurgical coal segment and premium pricing.

Global coal & steel demand, export pricing >>>Demand and pricing in seaborne thermal and metallurgical/“met” coal (especially from Asia/steel markets) remain critical for margins and revenue.

U.S. domestic demand & policy tailwinds >>>U.S. thermal coal demand (power generation, reliability, energy security) and favorable U.S. domestic policies or energy/utility demand can support the U.S. units and cash flow.


Cash flow, balance sheet & shareholder returns>>>Maintaining liquidity, managing debt, potential buybacks/dividends, capital discipline after acquisition termination are important for investor confidence.

Commodity price cycles and regulatory/transition risk>>>Coal prices (thermal and met), shifts in global energy mix/transition demand/ESG policies, environmental regulation can shift sentiment dramatically.


Risks & Red Flags

Profit volatility: The recent quarter was a net loss (~ $70 M, EPS loss ˜ $0.58), despite revenue being flatish and estimates beat. The company is still exposed to pricing swings and global demand cycles.

Global transition headwinds / coal exposure: Over the medium/longer term, energy transition, regulation, environmental policy and shift away from coal globally remain headwinds for coal producers.

Commodity price risk and competition: If global coal prices weaken or oversupply returns (especially in thermal or metallurgical coal), margins can compress quickly.

Execution risk for Centurion and other projects: Delays or issues in ramping the Centurion mine or export segments could derail forward growth.

Macro / global economic risk: Recession or weak global demand in steel, Asia/China slowdown could hit export volumes and pricing.

Verdict & Positioning

Speculative / tactical play: Peabody Energy is high-risk and high-return. If you believe in a near-term rebound in coal demand (especially in Asia / export / power demand), this could be a leveraged play.

Moderate exposure only: If you allocate a small position size (since volatility is high), you might be rewarded if global coal tightness or the Centurion mine catalyst arrives.

Hedging / diversifying: It might make sense to balance this with less cyclical or more diversified energy or infrastructure exposure, since the swing factors are large.

Heck of a day for BTU !!!
WOW! I stumbled on this again after 3 years.. started back when I lost a lot of money with FASC.
PS
"Takeover rumors? BTU is the BEST buy-out candidate on earth.
For too many reasons to fit on the internet.
"FUEL (coal)" for every type of energy possible...
Much better than all other "energy" companies they talk about.
A buyout attempt would drive BTU stock into the $100s.
AND it would still have a minuscule Market Cap!!!"

Coal is welfare for fatcat parasites and costs ratepayers more to be their slaves.

Wind turbine towers and wind turbine blades are both made from coal, are are major parts and machines used in the solar energy devices. So the demand for coal remains strong. More steel is needed for construction. Since Ibuprofen is also made from coal, the coal naysayers will be driving up the coal demands to medicate their growing headaches as they learn how foolish and short sighted their thoughts remain.

Merth, So we can soon be looking for some foreign company to buy BTU.
Kinda like Japan is buying America's greatest steel company.
Logical price for China, et al, to pay for BTU would be somewhere around $50/share.

Okay, genius🤡

During meetings the last six weeks regarding international cargo, manufacturing, and resource development it was made clear that some countries, particularly underdeveloped counties, are looking to enter into agreements with producers of coal, oil, natural gas, metals, and rare earths, to move their operation, particularly manufacturing, to these foreign lands. Here are some interesting, and alarming comments.

Counties with prevailing winds leaving the Country can produce large amounts of hot air, carbon dioxide, particulate, and other air born waste, and let the wind carry it off. The oceans will filter the waste, and waste the oceans do not handle is not their problem.

With the USA quickly regulating its industries out of business, and shuttering its energy sector, particularly coal and oil, the developing counties can pick up this wealth and sell the products to the USA. This will also result in a more “fair” distribution of international wealth.

As the US industries cease manufacturing, the US occupant demand for products will still increase, especially with all the new immigrants arriving by the million into the USA. These consumers will buy what other countries produce because the products will be no longer manufactured in the USA.

Products built in the USA, such as naval ships, trains, planes, heavy equipment energy, appliances, food, and consumer goods can be produced else where. The USA is spending so much of its wealth in world welfare and conflicts that it has plenty of money to pay more for foreign produced products.

Some USA ports are now being re0engineered to unload products like coal, metals, lumber, etc, rather than load ships.

Russia, China, India, and nations of South America and Africa are in the planning stage of railroads, and highways to transport goods to ports. Some jungles will become farms of jungle related plants and wood products.

Farm equipment no made in Illinois and Iowa can be made just a well and less expensively in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Furthermore, with less burdensome environmental energy siphons attached to the machine engines, the equipment will be more productive and less expensive to operate.

Interesting sets of meetings there were. As a loyal US citizen, I found some of the discussions outright scary. The international economic planning sessions were more than just scary.

Some argued that this is a form of business plan operated by China manufacturing and mining over the last several decades and serves as a good example of how this redistribution of wealth and jobs and be successfully attained.

This is the sort of international business news that the USA media declines to print, especially in a presidential election year. The amount of unused water, labor force, and natural resources in Africa, Latin America, and Asia is huge.

Here is another example. Kazakhstan has more oil reserves than all of Arabia and the Middle East. In some places it pools on the surface. One of the several planned pipelines to export some of this oil was built to the North and West, around the Caspian Sea, and through Russia, to a port on the Black Sea. About 20% of that pipeline is owned b one US oil company. The presence of oil is not their problem, lack of access to the Western markets and Europe is the challenge they are working on.

So, coal and other petro-chemical resources may be forced to go away in the USA, by being locked up, but the rest of the world is reacting to happily take over those national wealth building industries, and the manufacturing and jobs that go with them.

Thank you, than you very much.

MERTH, [frozen batteries!!] Another great analysis!
My observation - INVESTING IS A VERY STRANGE THING:
I look around and see 100s of companies with P/Es of 50++,
and Market Caps in the $$$dozens of billions of dollars.
These bloated companies do nothing for humanity. Or very little.
And then there is BTU.
Gulp.

Well, this is no surprise for people who understand and accept scientific fact!

As thousands of electric cars across the Northern half of the USA are found useless, and left stranded in parking lots and/or near charging stations, because their Lithium batteries do not perform well in the cold weather. The batteries neither hold a full charge nor take a useful charge, when the temperature of the battery is cold.. The coal, oil, hydro plants, and natural gas which produces the electricity to the charging stations work just fine, but he the charging stations do not deliver a worthwhile charge to the car’s battery. Lithium electric car batteries, in cold weather, lose their charge and cannot accept a new charge, as the battery is damaged by the cold, Yes, I know that seems odd in the era of global warming. The earth is much hotter, right?

This also applies to lithium batters at home and work, such as lawn mowers, drills, saws, screwdrivers, and other lithium battery powered power tools. It is not wise to store lithium batters, or their chargers, in a cold garage, or truck during cold winter weather. According to a close relative, this week, lithium batteries in Arizona are severely affected by winter weather. A fully charged EV had a dead battery after a night in a hotel parking lot.

Further enforcing this scientific observation is the truth that Hertz is selling 20,000 electric rental cars due to their customers unwilling to rent them. The auto industry is rebelling against silly current edicts of the lunatic worshipers of the cold moon surface. Well, anyway, these lunatics howling at the moon are distractive to valid science, national security, and the convenience of sane and educated earth dwellers..

Yep, crazy and Treasonous. No way to go through life.

An obvious Biden cartel lover like you has a closeup look at
crazy every day.
So you can see it definitely ain't me.

Do you know you're just crazy?

Apology accepted. BTU is not perfect. But it is about 2,675 times
more perfect than the everything the buttfiden cartels are
destroying America with.

BTU Is neither green or a recycler but as long as you're lying why not?

NEEDS REPEAT: "Peabody Energy Corporation (BTU) remains the largest green
energy recycling company on the planet."
What BTU really needs to do is to replace its current defunct Marketing dept with
some brains and truth. Or heck .. with anything.. something.
PS
I nominate MERTH!

I am pleased you don't listen to Fox news, but then it is CNN, MSNBC, and others who are the faux news which .announce various propaganda enhanced and misdirecting quasi news fantasies. CNN, does not have a news room, they have a propaganda pit. he once great CNN stains the word "news". Fox News has also declined in quality. Among the general rules an educated sane person follows when listing to outlets claiming to be announcing news is that if the story is designed to make listeners afraid of some great power like disease, government, event, or cause, then the story should be immediately deemed suspicious and confirmed from other truly reliable sources, if our can find a truly reliable source. Perhaps you need to see ;an ophthalmologist or reading instructor. I did not say Fox news, I said Faux news.

True general rule announced multiple times in courts--- Most newspapers and news programs are not a reliable source of facts.

Peabody Energy Corporation (BTU) remains the largest green energy recycling company on the planet.

I never listen to Fox News. Their lies are scary and immature.

President Joe Biden said Sunday there were plenty of climate-denying “dog-faced pony soldiers” out there, but their numbers are dwindling as the world takes serious steps to address the climate crisis.

Missing something? Of course your are. You have shot at what you erroneously think is a earthy problem and are severely damaging the entire planet in the process. Your form of conservation destroys forests, whales, and endangered species of both flora an fauna. Your fascistic programs and philosophies are destroying the Nation and the planet, including our culture and the vary lives of your own family and neighbors. I suggest your stop listening to faux news.

By that logic that would mean you are far more wrong, wouldn't it? Am I missing something?

Crusen, the absolute proof that your are wrong is the fact that you are still here.

You must be kidding. Science denier lies are all that normally survive here.

Sambeaux, that is a correct analysis, good job.

PS - BTU needs a marketing dept that does its job. Or
a huge change in stock market P/E "assignment" criteria.
IE:
1. BTU coal (that saves America) gets P/E of 2.5.
2. Companies that do things like schedule peoples vacations
get P/Es of 30+.
2a. Companies that use coal for their fuel to survive get
P/Es of 50+.
Go figure...

BTU has a fantastic potential (if it survives). But it has NO MARKETING AT ALL.
Albeit marketing department... that does nothing.
Companies without marketing often languish.. and stay there.
I NOMINATE MERTH FOR BTU MARKETING DIRECTOR!!!
Sam

someone who speaks the truth and the message is still up...hmmmm are the tides finally turning??? i sure hope so, it has been way too long!!!
the US has the 3rd largest coal reserves in the world

LIARS? The real liars are the greenees who stole America's elections
and now trying to steal the world with their asinine commie climate corruption.

Who, is this? I believe you are only lying to yourself, and Sambeaux FYI.

"The real scientists and climatologists..."

Merth, you continuously continue to be...
too darn logical!
Thanks

For your entertainment, here is a fun fact. Palm Springs, California, an upscale high cost and high class community, for years stooped reporting the temperature when when the temperature reaches 120 degrees. It was a community image motivation. Sumer temperatures in excess of 110% is common in the Coachella Valley, where Palm Springs is located.. Recently, Palm Springs reached is maximum recorded temperature of 123 decrees, but that was not a new record, that what just machinegun old records.

The real scientists and climatologists report that the currently USA temperature remains in a cooling trend, although this year is warmer than last year. As any scientist know, one data point does not make a trend.

Highly renowned climate scientists have said during the last few years that as long as there is a glacier on Antarctica or Greenland, planet earth is still coming out of its last ice age. Of coerce it is warming, it is natural.

If humans want to fight warming, then lay no more asphalt, pour no more concrete roads or parking lots, build no more heart absorbing roofs, plant more weeds and other plants. And for those of you which yell the most about climate change, stop hyperventilating about it and reduce your greenhouse gas output by at least 50% Stop eating plants that consume the carbon dioxide in the air, stop flatulating so there will be less methane in the air. stop living under a roof, turn off your air conditioning, stop using anything made with steel or steel machines. Internet, radio, television, cables, wires, paper, printers, computers, broadcast towers, and guns are all made by, and made of, materials which come from coal and oil. If the hyperventilating climate activists want to be real, and honest, stop making and producing and consuming the very things you fight against. You act and look stupid! And, the broadcast media which sensationalizes your cause only makes your problem worse, an in the process, invalidates the media value and credibility.

Fighting for clean air and plentiful clean water is a valid and noble cause

Merth - YES!!! To all. eom

Excellent news. Our society, politicians, physicists, culture, etc. should understand that the best method of moving our society from carbon energy, such as coal and oil, is to build means of producing vast amounts of electricity at the lowest possible cost to the consumer or industrial plant, even if it is coal and oil fueled electricity during the transition. Too many idiots, and I use that word kindly, think that the transition should be accomplished by artificially increasing the cost of coal, oil, and all forms of electrical generation and forcing us away from natural gas, and other carbon fuels before the technology exists to transition to electric devices. The focus should be massive amounts of electricity at the lowest possible cost to the consumer.

Note: Recently I reviewed some very large mining tractors and processors which are fueled with electricity.

If we don't plan the trip well, we will starve and die on the way to the promised land. It still will require large amounts of carbon fuel to grow our grain, fruits, and vegetables., and to feed the animals, if we are so inclined to eat the beasts.

Climate news reminder...the highest temperature day in USA history was in 1913, 110 years ago. That record has not been broken. It is true that the hottest summer days seems to have shifted on the calendar, and a few daily records are being broken. Seasonal records are mostly unchanged. Temperatures in excess of 110 degrees in some Sothern states were common 60 years ago. This year is no worse, although a very large high pressure dome has been sitting over the Western states during the last few weeks. That dome is now moving Eastward, and the Eastern states may become a bit hot. I believe the 110 year old USA temperature record will not be broken.

Sam's News Bulletin: BTU's "R3 Renewables Company":
"Over the next five years, BTU plans to develop over 3.3 GW of solar energy
and 1.6 GW of battery storage capacity from former mine sites."
ETC, ETC, ETC

Sambeaux, verky well said.

Merth - Whew.. I am exhausted. BTW, What do we get from BTU
management's brilliant advertising division?
Advertising and promotion. What is that?
How about simply: "Our coal is better than you lithium."

Is coal going away? Is the earth dying from highest ever temperatures? Is it time to panic? Here is a simple reasoning.

Henny-Penny: The Sky is Falling!

Henny-Penny is a story young children should learn early: trying to incite panic can result in opportunists like Foxy-woxy doing real harm. The iconic story was published in English Fairy Tales, retold by Flora Annie Steel (1922),


One day Henny-penny was picking up corn in the rickyard when—whack!—an acorn hit her upon the head. "Goodness gracious me!" said Henny-penny, "the sky's a-going to fall; I must go and tell the King."

So she went along, and she went along, and she went along, till she met Cocky-locky. "Where are you going, Henny-penny?" says Cocky-locky. "Oh! I'm going to tell the King the sky's a-falling," says Henny-penny. "May I come with you?" says Cocky-locky. "Certainly," says Henny-penny. So Henny-penny and Cocky-locky went to tell the King the sky was falling.

They went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Ducky-daddles. "Where are you going to, Henny-penny and Cocky-locky?" says Ducky-daddles. "Oh! we're going to tell the King the sky's a-falling," said Henny-penny and Cocky-locky. "May I come with you?" says Ducky-daddles. "Certainly," said Henny-penny and Cocky-locky. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, and Ducky-daddles went to tell the King the sky was a-falling.

So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Goosey-poosey. "Where are you going to, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, and Ducky-daddles?" said Goosey-poosey. "Oh! we're going to tell the King the sky's a-falling," said Henny-penny and Cocky-locky and Ducky-daddles. "May I come with you?" said Goosey-poosey. "Certainly," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, and Ducky-daddles. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey went to tell the King the sky was a-falling.

So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Turkey-lurkey. "Where are you going, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey?" says Turkey-lurkey. "Oh! we're going to tell the King the sky's a-falling," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey. "May I come with you, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey?" said Turkey-lurkey. "Oh, certainly, Turkey-lurkey," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey all went to tell the King the sky was a-falling.

Henny-Penny: The Sky is Falling groupSo they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Foxy-woxy, and Foxy-woxy said to Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey, "Where are you going, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey?" And Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey said to Foxy-woxy, "We're going to tell the King the sky's a-falling." "Oh! but this is not the way to the King, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey," says Foxy-woxy; "I know the proper way; shall I show it you?" "Oh, certainly, Foxy-woxy," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, Turkey-lurkey, and Foxy-woxy all went to tell the King the sky was a-falling. So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they came to a narrow and dark hole. Now this was the door of Foxy-woxy's burrow. But Foxy-woxy said to Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey, "This is the short cut to the King's palace: you'll soon get there if you follow me. I will go first and you come after, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey." "Why, of course, certainly, without doubt, why not?" said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey.

So Foxy-woxy went into his burrow, and he didn't go very far but turned round to wait for Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey. Now Turkey-lurkey was the first to go through the dark hole into the burrow. He hadn't got far when—

"Hrumph!"

Foxy-woxy snapped off Turkey-lurkey's head and threw his body over his left shoulder. Then Goosey-poosey went in, and—

"Hrumph!"

Henny-Penny: The Sky is Falling fowlOff went her head and Goosey-poosey was thrown beside Turkey-lurkey. Then Ducky-daddles waddled down, and—

"Hrumph!"

Foxy-woxy had snapped off Ducky-daddles' head and Ducky-daddles was thrown alongside Turkey-lurkey and Goosey-poosey. Then Cocky-locky strutted down into the burrow, and he hadn't gone far when—

"Hrumph!"

But Cocky-locky will always crow whether you want him to do so or not, and so he had just time for one "Cock-a-doo-dle d—" before he went to join Turkey-lurkey, Goosey-poosey, and Ducky-daddles over Foxy-woxy's shoulders.

Now when Henny-penny, who had just got into the dark burrow, heard Cocky-locky crow, she said to herself:

"My goodness! it must be dawn. Time for me to lay my egg."

So she turned round and bustled off to her nest; so she escaped, but she never told the King the sky was falling!

Current news about global warming!!! Research completed just today indicated that claims of highest ever temperatures in the USA being newly set records is a lie. The highest recorded temperature in the 50 states was set a 110 years ago, and is not about to be broken. The temperature in the Southwest states is not in danger of breaking summer records other than some isolated daily records. The 2023 summer temperatures are typical of hot summer days. Yes, there a isolated daily highs, but not summer or year long highs. Remember, the highest recorded temperature in the USA was 110 years ago. It is not hotter now!
