<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Looking Into Warrior Met Coal's Recent Short Interest

Leading coal stocks rallied on Tuesday amidst a broader market decline after President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at &#8220;reinvigorating America's beautiful clean coal industry&#8221; according to a White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-reinvigorates-americas-beautiful-clean-coal-industry/">fact sheet</a>.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Trump signed an executive order that directed the Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council to designate coal as a &#8216;mineral&#8217; and accrue it with all the benefits that come with it.
The order ends the Jewell Moratorium that paused coal leasing on federal lands, while also directing relevant agencies to identify coal resources on federal lands, lifting red tape, barriers to mining, and prioritizing the industry. This is in sharp contrast to the prior administration, as Trump declared an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44701436/trump-unleashes-beautiful-clean-coal-policies-as-wall-street-tanks-sp-500-hits-1-year-low">end to the &#8220;war on beautiful, clean coal.&#8221;</a>
Leading coal producers, Peabody Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>), Warrior Met Coal Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCC#NYSE">HCC</a>), Core Natural Resources Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNR#NYSE">CNR</a>), and Alliance Resource Partners LP (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARLP#NASDAQ">ARLP</a>), all rallied following the news, helping marginally offset the steep year-to-date declines in the sector.

Why It Matters: According to Goldman Sachs, AI data centers can increase global power demand by 165% by the end of this decade.
However, Timothy Fox of Washington-based research firm Clearview Energy Partners says that coal has been in decline for years, and not due to carbon rules and regulations, but the availability of cheaper sources of energy, reported the Mining Weekly, a South African trade magazine.
He further notes that the demise of coal has been on the cards for years, since &#8220;Power-plant owners, operators and developers don't think of investments in terms of administrations — they think 10, 15, 20 years down the&nbsp;road.&#8221;

Peabody Energy, Core Natural Spike In Rally Stoked By Trump's Executive Order Ending 'War On Beautiful, Clean Coal'

President Donald Trump on Tuesday unveiled sweeping plans to revive U.S. coal production to meet the nation's rising energy demands, marking a dramatic policy reversal from the climate-focused agendas of the Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">and Obama administrations.</a>
Meanwhile, Wall Street plunged deeper into negative territory as escalating tariff tensions with China reignited fears of a global economic slowdown.
"We're ending Joe Biden's war on beautiful clean coal once and for all," Trump declared. "We're going to reopen those plants, put miners back to work, and get approvals very fast."
Trump's order directs federal agencies to fast-track mining permits, slash environmental regulations, and expand coal leases on federal lands.
"Pound for pound, coal is the single most reliable, durable, secure, and powerful form of energy on Earth," the president added.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, coal production in 2023 totaled 578 million short tons, less than half the 1.17 billion short tons produced at its peak in 2008. 
The decline, the EIA noted, has been driven by rising costs, tougher environmental rules, and increased competition from natural gas and renewables.
&#8220;We&#8217;ll be signing a bill to unleash the might of our beautiful clean coal industry in this country,&#8221; Trump said.
Shares of Peabody Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>), the largest private-sector coal company in the world, rose 9% in after-hours trading, and Warrior Met Coal Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCC#NYSE">HCC</a>) rose 6.5%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street Selloff Deepened</h3>
While Trump was touting coal's comeback, Wall Street was in full-blown retreat. 
Major indexes erased hefty morning gains in a volatile session that saw risk sentiment collapse after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump's 104% retaliatory tariff on Chinese imports would go live at 12:01 a.m. ET Wednesday.
"China made a mistake by retaliating, and the president is punching back harder," Leavitt said, ruling out any delay or exemption to the tariffs.
The news sent a jolt through financial markets, reversing a sharp morning rally and pushing the S&amp;P 500 index to its lowest levels in a year.
The S&amp;P 500 closed at 4,892, down 1.57%, after having surged as much as 3.7% earlier in the session.
The Nasdaq 100 ended the day at 17,104, falling 1.95% from the previous close, despite hitting a 4.1% intraday gain during the morning rally.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at 37,663, shedding 0.8%, after climbing as much as 2.5% at its session peak.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mega-Cap Tech: From Rally To Rout</h3>
Among the Magnificent Seven, losses were led by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which closed down 5%, falling more than 9 percentage points from its intraday highs. 
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) ended 4.9% lower, while Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) dropped 2.9%. 
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>), which had surged more than 3% in morning trading, ended lower by 4%, signaling broad risk aversion toward chipmakers. AI darling Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) closed 1.4% lower.

Trump Unleashes 'Beautiful Clean Coal' Policies As Wall Street Tanks, S&P 500 Hits 1-Year Low

Warrior Met Coal shares are trading higher amid President Trump's announcement to expand U.S. coal mining and usage to power data centers and AI.

<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-08/trump-order-seeks-to-tap-coal-power-in-quest-to-dominate-ai?embedded-checkout=true" title="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-08/trump-order-seeks-to-tap-coal-power-in-quest-to-dominate-ai?embedded-checkout=true">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-08/trump-order-seeks-to-tap-coal-power-in-quest-to-dominate-ai?embedded-checkout=true</a>

Bloomberg Reported Earlier, President Trump Seeks To Expand U.S. Coal Mining And Usage To Power Data Center Boom

In the current market session, Warrior Met Coal Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCC#NYSE">HCC</a>) price is at $49.58, after a 7.48% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 3.51%, and in the past year, by 15.45%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Warrior Met Coal P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 17.16 in the Metals &amp; Mining industry, Warrior Met Coal Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 9.65. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740422716_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
