Ramaco Resources Declares Class B Stock Dividend, Advances Minerals

The latest announcement is out from Ramaco Resources ( (METC) ).

Ramaco Resources, Inc., based in Lexington, Ky., is a leading operator and developer of high-quality, low-cost metallurgical coal in Central Appalachia and is expanding into rare earth and critical minerals development in Wyoming. The company is positioning itself as a dual-platform supplier, targeting both steelmaking coal markets and higher-value critical minerals used in semiconductors and related technologies.

In 2025, Ramaco reported a net loss of $51.4 million, including a fourth-quarter loss of $14.7 million, but delivered $36.1 million in adjusted EBITDA and materially improved cash mine costs, which remained in the first quartile of the U.S. cost curve. Despite weaker metallurgical coal indices that compressed cash margins, the company exited the year with record liquidity of $521 million and, on February 25, 2026, announced a Class B stock dividend of $0.1489 per share payable March 27, 2026, while progressing a new patent-pending carbochlorination flowsheet expected to lower capital and operating costs and shift its future critical minerals revenue mix toward high-purity gallium, alumina and quartz.

Ramaco is also advancing engineering and economic studies for its Wyoming critical minerals project, with a revised Preliminary Economic Assessment and Pre-Feasibility Study scheduled for 2026, alongside continued pilot plant development and third-party testing. On the coal side, the company has already secured 2026 sales commitments of 3.1 million tons, covering most of its production guidance through a mix of fixed-price North American contracts and index-linked export volumes.

The most recent analyst rating on (METC) stock is a Hold with a $19.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ramaco Resources stock, see the METC Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on METC Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, METC is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weakening financial performance (profitability decline, net losses, and weaker free cash flow). Offsetting this are moderately favorable technicals (price above key short/medium-term averages with positive MACD) and a more constructive forward narrative from the earnings call and recent financing/capital-return events, though valuation remains challenging due to losses (negative P/E).
