Overview
Peabody Energy Corporation, based in the United States, is a prominent player in the coal industry, focusing on coal mining and the sale of coal for electricity generation and steelmaking. The company has a wide operational footprint, managing both surface and underground mines across major coal basins in the U.S. and Australia. Among its key projects are the North Antelope Rochelle Mine in Wyoming, which is recognized as one of the world's largest coal mines, and its Australian metallurgical coal operations which cater to international steel manufacturers. Peabody's business strategy encompasses not just operational efficiency and resource management, but also a growing emphasis on sustainable mining practices.

Factor Scores range from 0 to 100, with 100 being most desirable. Larger circles are better. In situations where we have no data (e.g. no insider trades), we plot the score at 50 to avoid penalizing companies. However, a company that does not pay dividends will get a Dividend Score of Zero. Additionally, we inverted volatility to create a "stability" metric which is better when higher.

The standard analyst ratings are generally as follows:
- Buy/Overweight/Outperform - Any of these ratings conveys an analyst’s belief that the stock is likely to outperform a market index (e.g. the S&P 500).
- Hold/Equal-Weight/Market Perform - Any of these ratings conveys an analyst’s belief that the stock is likely to perform in line with a market index.
