Warrior Met Coal LLC's stock plummeted 7.41% during intraday trading on Friday, extending earlier losses.
The sharp decline followed news that UBS cut its target price for the company to $102 from $104, signaling reduced confidence in the stock's near-term prospects. Analyst price target reductions are often interpreted by investors as negative signals about a company's future performance.
The stock had already experienced significant downward pressure in pre-market trading following the UBS announcement, with the intraday session seeing continued selling pressure that drove the share price lower.
