The latest update is out from Suncoke Energy ( (SXC) ).
On April 30, 2026, SunCoke Energy reported first-quarter 2026 results showing a net loss of $3.4 million, or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share attributable to SXC, versus a $19.4 million profit a year earlier, as storms, the shutdown of its Haverhill I plant and a turbine failure at the Middletown facility weighed on its Domestic Coke segment. Consolidated revenues still rose to $455.1 million, adjusted EBITDA slipped modestly to $56.5 million, and strong operating cash flow of $72.7 million, supported by robust performance in the Phoenix-driven Industrial Services segment, allowed the company to declare a $0.12 quarterly dividend payable June 2, 2026, while reaffirming full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $230 million to $250 million.
Domestic Coke revenue fell to $361.7 million and adjusted EBITDA dropped to $35.3 million on lower coke sales volumes and reduced power sales, while Industrial Services revenue surged to $85.4 million and adjusted EBITDA doubled to $26.2 million on the inclusion of Phoenix Global. Management highlighted seamless integration of Phoenix, repayment of revolver borrowings and expectations to recoup lost coke production and restore power at Middletown later in the second quarter, signaling confidence in meeting 2026 earnings targets despite the weather-related and operational setbacks in the first quarter.
The most recent analyst rating on (SXC) stock is a Hold with a $9.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Suncoke Energy stock, see the SXC Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on SXC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SXC is a Neutral.
The score is primarily held back by weakened 2025 profitability, sharp revenue decline, and higher leverage, partially offset by continued positive free cash flow. Guidance and commentary suggest a modest 2026 recovery with planned deleveraging, while valuation is attractive (low P/E and high dividend yield). Technical indicators are broadly neutral, offering limited incremental support.
