Alpha Sets 2027 Range; DTA Stacker Reclaimer Replacement Expected to Take About Two Years

Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Inc. expects to ship 14.3 million to 15.7 million tons in 2027, with the SR1 replacement at DTA expected to take about two years.

Alpha plans to move some shipments through other Hampton Roads facilities to work around DTA constraints. It forecast coal sales costs of $104 to $110 per ton in 2027.

Alpha shipped 3.9 million tons in the third quarter of 2026 and posted adjusted EBITDA of $29.4 million, compared with $25.6 million in the second quarter. Met coal costs increased to $106.93 per ton.

Management cited ongoing cost pressures, weak global steel demand and market uncertainty.
