Whitehaven Coal

Whitehaven Coal reported a record production of 40.3 million tonnes for fiscal 2026, improved unit costs of 132 AUD/t, adjusted EBITDA of 1.25 billion AUD and adjusted NPAT of 227 million AUD. Despite strong operational metrics, weaker coal prices, higher planned capital expenditure (CapEx 390–490 million AUD) and a 2027 production outlook slightly below the prior year dented investor sentiment. The share fell around 3.9%, while management announced dividends and a share buyback and kept net debt at about 1.327 billion AUD. » Mere på de.investing.com

Whitehaven Coal reported adjusted net profit after tax of A$227m and adjusted EBITDA of A$1.3bn, while revenue fell 7% to A$5.4bn due to lower coal prices and a stronger Australian dollar. Production reached the top end of guidance at 40.3m tonnes, but a sales mix of 57% metallurgical and 43% thermal coal leaves the company exposed to weaker steelmaking coal prices. For fiscal 2027 production is expected at 38–41m tonnes, while capital expenditure rises to A$390–490m and net debt remains around A$1.3bn, which will dampen capital returns. Against the backdrop of the negative market environment, the stock fell about 3.7%. » Mere på de.investing.com

Whitehaven Coal delivered a strong operational performance in Q3 2026 with 6.8 million tonnes of coal exports and a stock reaction of +3.12%. Strategic refinancing is expected to reduce annual interest costs by AUD 50–55 million, and the company is targeting AUD 60–80 million in cost savings for the fiscal year. Net debt stood at AUD 600 million as of 31 March; diesel price volatility and weather-related disruptions could pressure Q4 results. Management has issued EPS and revenue guidance for the coming quarters and sees continued strong demand for metallurgical and thermal coal. » Mere på de.investing.com
