<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

This House of Representative Just Bought Up To $30K In Alliance Res Partners Stock

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended not buying Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTDR#NASDAQ">BTDR</a>) and going with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
As per the recent news, Bitdeer announced the successful close of the acquisition of a fully licensed and permitted 101 MW site and gas-fired power project situated on 19 acres of land near <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BTDR">Fox Creek, Alberta</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gives His Opinion On These Industrials Names</h3>
When asked about Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>), he said, &#8220;I think that there are a lot of people fleeing this stock because of DOGE, and I think that they think this is somehow going to be front and center to the problem. I don't think that's the case. I think it's going to be the, the big military contractors that they're really going to go after.&#8221;
Supporting his view, Raymond James analyst Brian Gesuale, on Feb. 3, upgraded Booz Allen Hamilton from Market Perform to Outperform and announced a $150 price target.
&#8220;I think we just have to kind of hold off,&#8221; Cramer said about Redwire Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDW#NYSE">RDW</a>).
In the recent news, the company, on Jan. 20, inked a deal to acquire Edge Autonomy for $925 million.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other Stocks In Focus</h3>
Manhattan Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MANH#NASDAQ">MANH</a>) got &#8220;clubbed,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;I cannot believe how much that thing went down.&#8221;
On Jan. 29, Manhattan Associates shares dipped 24% after reporting its fourth-quarter and FY 2024 financial results and issuing weak revenue guidance for 2025.
The Mad Money host said he would not buy SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>) at this level. &#8220;Let it come in,&#8221; he added.
On Jan. 27, SoFi Technologies reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results. However, the company issued lackluster fiscal 2025 profit guidance.
&#8220;It's intriguing to me, because I think the president doesn't believe in traditional global warming. If that's the case, then he must really like coal. I'm not a big fan of coal, but that has to do more because I believe in the science,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARLP#NASDAQ">ARLP</a>).
The company, meanwhile, reported weaker-than-expected results for its fourth quarter on Feb. 3.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Booz Allen Hamilton shares fell 2% to settle at $129.35 on Wednesday.</li>
<li>Manhattan Associates shares gained 2.1% to close at $200.72 during the session.</li>
<li>Alliance Resource Partners shares rose 0.6% to settle at $28.14.</li>

Earnings Scheduled For February 3, 2025

Last month, two European quants, one working for Robeco and the other for Allianz, published a paper asking (and answering) whether formulaic investing is possible. Marcel Schwartz of Allianz and Matthias X. Hanauer of Robeco are also associated with the Technical University of Munich.
The pair studied four formulas, including a conservative low-volatility strategy, The Acquirers Multiple, The Piotroski F-Score, and Joel Greenblatt&#8217;s Magic Formula.
Interestingly, people associated with developing these formulas, such as Tobias Carlisle of Acquirers Funds and Wes Gray and Jack Vogel of Alpha Architect, also consulted on the paper.
To make a long story short, all four formulas delivered excess returns.
I am a huge fan of formula investing and have used the Acquirers Multiple and the F-Score strategies successfully over the years.
To me, they are both extensions of Ben Graham&#8217;s original value-investing and margin-of-safety theories.
I am quite familiar with the Magic Formula, although I have not used it as much as I probably should have.
If the Acquirers Multiple and F-Score models are descendants of Ben Graham, the Magic Formula is the reincarnation of a young Charlie Munger. Greenblatt&#8217;s formula helps identify companies that are earning high returns on the capital used to build and run the business and trading at bargain prices.
I decided to run a survey to find stocks that fit the Magic Formula definition in today&#8217;s overheated market.
I also added some features that increase my comfort level with owning these bargain issues.
The broader market may face tough sledding going forward as large-cap stocks are priced for perfection in an imperfect world.
Because of that, I want to collect a dividend.
Dividends, once paid, cannot be taken away.
Finally, I am always aware that it is unlikely that one will beat the market by doing what everyone else does.
I want my stocks to be under-owned by institutions.
If the company keeps earning high returns on capital, the big money funds will eventually pile into the stock, and their buying pressure will send the prices soaring.
United-Guardian (Ticker: UG) makes the list of undervalued high-return companies.
Although the name sounds like an insurance company, United-Guardian makes personal and medical lubricants and pharmaceuticals.
The company is earning very high returns on the capital employed in the business, with an earnings yield of over 10%.
The cash dividend yield is 5.6% at the current price.
Although it is not part of the formula, United-Guardian also has a bulletproof balance sheet with plenty of cash and no long-term debt.
The President of United-Guardian owns almost 30% of the company, which has discouraged institutions from buying the stock. Funds currently own just 22% of the company.
We often find high-return companies trading at bargain prices because they are in a business everyone hates.
This is doubly true for Alliance Resource Partners LP (Ticker: ARLP).
This natural resource company mines coal and sells it to utilities and industrial users in the United States.
I would be hard-pressed to think of a business more hated than coal in today&#8217;s world.
Moreover, Alliance Resource Partners is just that: a partnership.
It is a Master Limited Partnership, which means you get a K-1 instead of a 1099 each year for tax purposes.
K-1s are a pain in the backside region.
It is probably worth putting up with the hassle. Alliance Resources earns high returns on capital and generates a ton of cash, most of which ends up in shareholders&#8217; pockets.
The earnings yield is 13%, and the cash dividend yield is 10.25%.
While coal is the dominant business, Alliance also has a growing royalties business. It owns 68,578 net royalty acres in premier oil and gas producing regions that produce over 3 million barrels equivalent of crude and natural gas.
Plenty of skin is in the game as insiders own about 17% of this company.
Most institutional managers would cut off a limb before getting caught with a coal company on their sheets, so ownership by the big funds is just 17%.
On the renewable fuel side of the equation, we find Future Fuel (Ticker: FF), a company that makes fuels from a mix of diesel, vegetable oils, and grease feedstock.
They also have a chemical division that makes products used in everything from farming to dish detergent.
The dividend yield is over 4%, and the earnings yield is over 15%.
Institutions own very little stock apart from index funds.
Insiders, on the other hand, own 41% of Future Fuel.
You may notice that I did not do a &#8220;deep dive&#8221; on any of these companies.
That is the whole idea of formulaic investing.
In the last interview he gave, Ben Graham suggested that most investors would be better served by a value-based formula approach to investing.
He told the Financial Analysts Journal, &#8220;In the old days, any well-trained security analyst could do a good professional job of selecting undervalued issues through detailed studies; but in the light of the enormous amount of research now being carried on, I doubt whether in most cases such extensive efforts will generate sufficiently superior selections to justify their cost.&#8221;
He suggested instead that a formula approach, rigidly followed, would likely deliver market-beating results with a minimum of effort. Who are we to argue with Ben?

What's Next: Alliance Res Partners's Earnings Preview

The largest Chinese coal producer, CHN Energy Investment Group, has announced a $24 billion investment in a coal-to-petroleum facility in Hami, Xinjiang. The project, scheduled to begin production in 2027, aims to convert excess coal into <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil" rel="noreferrer noopener">petroleum products</a>.
The plant should produce synthetic fuels like gasoline and diesel using cutting-edge liquefaction technology. According to Bloomberg's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-10/china-s-top-miner-to-spend-24-billion-on-coal-to-oil-project" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, this would reduce China's reliance on imported oil and manage the surplus coal production.
China produced a record 4.7 billion tons of coal in 2023, while its coal consumption in electricity generation has begun to decline due to an increased focus on renewable energy.
President Xi Jinping has committed to reducing coal use starting in 2026, pushing coal producers to explore alternative uses, like petrochemical feedstocks. Such efforts continue the trend, which shows a 24% growth of coal-to-oil production from 2019 to 2023, reaching 11 million tons annually.
The Hami facility will employ both direct and indirect coal liquefaction technologies. Direct liquefaction converts coal into liquid hydrocarbons by applying heat, hydrogen, and catalysts. It is relatively simple but requires high-quality coal.
Indirect liquefaction, on the other hand, first gasifies coal into syngas, which is then transformed into liquid fuel, offering greater flexibility in the types of coal used. Both methods will be powered by renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, which aligns with China's green energy transition efforts.
Wang Lining, director of the oil market department of the Economics and Technology Research Institute, said that this project sets a precedent for large-scale application of such technologies, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202410/10/WS67073092a310f1265a1c6d37.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">per</a> China Daily.
Such projects could shield China from oil price volatility, as it is the world's largest importer of crude oil. In 2023, its imports reached 11.3 million barrels per day, growing over 10% compared to 2022.
Still, the profitability of coal-to-oil conversions often depends on a wide gap between coal and oil prices. When oil prices fall or coal becomes more expensive, margins can shrink significantly.
China has been ramping up its coal-to-oil projects. From 2019 to 2023, coal-to-oil production capacity surged by 24%, reaching 11 million tons annually.

Shares of coal companies are trading lower amid a drop in the price of the commodity. Weakness may be due to August's ISM Manufacturing PMI data indicating an economic contraction and pending non-farm payrolls data that may determine the size of future rate cuts.

Wall Street Rises Ahead Of Big Tech Earnings, Fed Meeting; Tesla Rebounds, Oil Prices Drop To 7-Week Lows: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Alliance Resource Partners LP (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARLP#NASDAQ">ARLP</a>) shares are trading lower after the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b40007261/alliance-resource-partners-l-p-reports-second-quarter-financial-and-operating-results-declares-qua" rel="noreferrer noopener">company reported second-quarter</a> results below the consensus.
Revenue declined 7.6% year-over-year to $593.35 million, missing the consensus of $632.338 million.
Total revenues fell due to an 11.8% drop in coal sales volumes from transportation delays, partially offset by a 3.8% increase in coal sales prices.
Segment adjusted EBITDA stood at $202 million, down 25% Y/Y, in the quarter, and margin fell 793 bps to 34%.
Earnings per unit of $0.77 fell short of the consensus of $0.95.
As of June 30, 2024, the company had a total liquidity of $666 million, including $203.7 million of cash and cash equivalents.
Coal sales prices rose 3.8% year-over-year to $65.30 per ton, while oil &amp; gas royalty volumes increased 6.8% to 817 MBOE.
&#8220;Coal sales volumes during the 2024 Quarter were impacted by flooding on the Ohio River, delaying barge deliveries. Rail and port logistics were disrupted by the Baltimore bridge incident, which as time progressed impacted shipments from our Appalachia rail operations. These delays, combined with lower export sales, lifted our inventories higher by 0.8 million tons compared to the Sequential Quarter,&#8221; commented Joseph W. Craft III, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.
Additionally, our Oil &amp; Gas Royalties segment reported a 6.8% increase in BOE volumes year-over-year during the 2024 Quarter as our Permian-weighted minerals portfolio continues to realize production growth from recently drilled and completed wells.&#8221;
FY24 Guidance, updated: The company now expects sales volumes in coal operations of 33.50M-34.50M short tons (prior 34.0M-35.8M short tons)
Distributions: On July 26, 2024, ARLP&#8217;s Board approved 2024 Q2 cash distribution of $0.70 per unit, payable on August 14, to unitholders of record on August 7, 2024.
Mr. Craft concluded, &#8220;The increase in coal-fired generation and inventory drawdown is constructive for the U.S. thermal coal market and for ARLP as we look forward to next year and beyond. We remain confident in the core fundamentals expected to drive rapid growth in electricity demand for many years to come, including the increasing power requirements stemming from AI, data centers, and the onshoring of U.S. manufacturing.&#8221;
Price Action: ARLP shares are trading lower by 4.85% at $24.54 at the last check on Monday.

Alliance Resource Partners' Q2 Earnings Fall Short, Revenue Drops Amid Transportation Delays, Stock Falls

Alliance Resource shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q2 financial results. Additionally, the company lowered its FY24 revenue guidance for its coal operations.

&quot;Turning to the export markets, net back pricing for high sulfur Illinois Basin coal has declined to a level that we have decided it is prudent to slow down production for the back half of the year. Therefore, we are adjusting 2024 full-year&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;for our coal operations. At the midpoint, we now expect to sell approximately 34.0 million tons in 2024, or&nbsp;2.6%&nbsp;below the mid-point of our original&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;for the year. Due to the increased summer burn, we now expect more than half of our uncontracted tonnage position will be sold in the domestic market.&quot;

Alliance Resource Partners Updates 2024 Guidance: Now Expects Sales Volumes In Coal Operations Of 33.50M-34.50M Short Tons (prior 34.0M-35.8M Short Tons)
