StoneX reiterated a Buy rating and a USD 36.00 price target for Peabody Energy on October 20, 2026, according to Investing.com. That target stands 59.01 percent above the NYSE price of USD 22.64 on October 20, 2026. Peabody Energy was trading at EUR 20.12 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 9:35 p.m. CEST.

October 29 is the next test

Peabody will announce results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, on October 29, 2026, while its management conference call is scheduled for November 4, 2026. Fidelity carried the company's October 20 announcement, which said the earnings release would be distributed before the market opens on November 4. The two dates give investors separate checkpoints for the report and the call.

Revenue grew, but losses widened

In the second quarter of 2026, revenue reached USD 1.0032 billion, up 12.70 percent from USD 892.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. Net loss was USD 85.9 million, compared with a USD 25.4 million loss in the first quarter of 2026, and diluted earnings per share were minus USD 0.74. These figures come from Peabody's standardized quarterly financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026.

The latest analyst update puts the operating issue in sharper terms. StoneX cut its third-quarter adjusted EBITDA forecast to USD 112.0 million from USD 148.0 million, below a USD 118.0 million consensus estimate, while retaining the USD 36.00 target. The firm also cited Centurion sales guidance of 0.50 million to 0.70 million tons for the third quarter and a target of more than 1.00 million tons in the fourth quarter.

What the price position says

BTU's NYSE price of USD 22.64 on October 20, 2026 was down 4.75 percent from the USD 23.77 prior close. The 52-week range was USD 20.06 to USD 41.14, placing the stock USD 2.58 above its low and USD 18.50 below its high. Market capitalization was USD 2.8 billion, and the trailing price-to-earnings ratio was minus 15.06.

Execution remains the central variable

Peabody held USD 526.3 million in cash at June 30, 2026, while operating cash flow was negative USD 86.6 million in the second quarter. The contrast between revenue growth and cash generation makes the October report important: the market will have fresh evidence on whether Centurion production can improve earnings conversion.
