AI Insight: BTU Financial Trends
Peabody has swung to persistent operating losses since Q2 2025, with Q1 2026 op income at -$44M and equity eroding $173M over four quarters.
• Operating income collapsed from $234M in Q2 2024 to -$44M in Q1 2026, a swing of nearly $278M in six quarters.
• Net income turned negative in Q2 2025 (-$28M) and has remained in the red, reaching -$32M in Q1 2026.
• Revenue declined from a peak of $1,123M in Q4 2024 to $973M in Q1 2026, a drop of roughly $150M.
• Total debt is marginally lower at $335M in Q1 2026 vs. $348M in Q4 2024, providing limited balance-sheet relief.
⚠ Operating cash flow has been weak and volatile — only $30M in Q1 2026 — raising questions about cash generation sustainability.
⚠ Equity has declined four consecutive quarters from $3,668M in Q1 2025 to $3,495M in Q1 2026; trend warrants monitoring.
⚠ Whether Q4 2024's $1,123M revenue peak marks a cyclical top will be key to gauging any earnings recovery path.
AI Insight: BTU Ratio Trends
Peabody's profitability has collapsed: operating margin turned negative in Q2 2025 and remains deeply negative at -4.5% in Q1 2026, erasing gains seen as recently as Q2 2024.
• Operating margin deteriorated sharply from 22.4% in Q2 2024 to -4.5% in Q1 2026, a swing of nearly 27 percentage points.
• ROIC turned negative in Q2 2025 at -3.9% and deepened to -4.6% in Q1 2026, versus a peak of 23.4% in Q2 2024.
• ROE and ROA followed the same trajectory, both negative since Q2 2025 at -3.7% and -2.3% respectively in Q1 2026.
• Leverage remains low and stable — D/E held flat at 0.09–0.10 throughout the entire observation period.
⚠ Five of the last six quarters show deteriorating or negative operating margins — monitor whether Q4 2025's brief 0.8% uptick signals a recovery.
⚠ NPM gaps in Q4 2024 and Q4 2025 obscure true earnings quality; watch for one-off charges masking underlying losses.
⚠ Low D/E of 0.10 provides balance-sheet cushion, but sustained negative ROIC erodes the case for capital deployment.
