US Met Coal Stocks: Warrior Met Coal Better Than Alpha Metallurgical Resources, But I Rate Both A Hold

  • Warrior Met Coal is slightly more attractive than Alpha Metallurgical Resources due to higher gross margins and average coal quality, but both remain fundamentally sound. Until metallurgical coal prices bottom and trade policy uncertainties dissipate, a Hold rating for both HCC and AMR seems justified. While valuations for both companies are historically high, HCC is currently relatively cheaper than AMR.
