Alpha cuts 2026 shipment guidance, raises cost outlook; Q2 net loss $12.3 million
Alpha Metallurgical Resources reported preliminary second-quarter 2026 results showing a net loss of $12.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA of $25.6 million on 3.5 million tons sold. The company lowered its 2026 metallurgical coal sales volume guidance and raised its cost of coal sales guidance, citing weak met coal markets and equipment damage at Dominion Terminal Associates, which lowers expected volumes and raises costs for shareholders.
