Peabody Energy Stock Up 105% in a Year as $14.15 Million Stake Gets Trimmed

Gate City Capital Management sold 481,537 shares of Peabody Energy (BTU) worth approximately $14.15 million in Q4 2025, reducing its stake to $18.11 million. The sale appears to be a disciplined risk management move following the stock's 105% gain over the past year. Despite the trim, BTU remains the fund's fifth-largest holding at 7.84% of AUM.

Coal-fired power is expected to remain part of the U.S. energy mix longer than anticipated due to surging electricity demand from AI, data centers, and advanced manufacturing.

Existing coal plants operating at only 42% capacity could significantly increase power supply without infrastructure delays, while renewables and gas face cost and timeline challenges. At least 15 coal plants have already delayed planned retirements.
