Warrior Met Coal LLC (NYSE: HCC) experienced a significant after-hours plunge on Thursday, with its stock price falling by 5.56% in the post-market trading session. The decline came in the wake of the company's fourth-quarter 2024 earnings release, which missed analysts' expectations for both revenue and earnings per share (EPS).
According to the earnings report, Warrior Met Coal posted quarterly earnings of $0.15 per share, missing the consensus estimate of $0.43 by a substantial margin of 65.12%. The company's revenue for the quarter was $297.46 million, falling short of the estimated $306.74 million by 3.02%. These disappointing results represent a significant decline from the same period last year, with EPS down 93.98% and revenue dropping by 18.23%.
The weaker-than-expected financial performance appears to have dampened investor sentiment, leading to the sharp sell-off in Warrior Met Coal's shares during the after-hours trading session. The company's failure to meet Wall Street's expectations has raised concerns about its ability to navigate the current market conditions and maintain profitability.
