Core Natural Resources sees FY26 capital expenditures $325M-$375M

Sees FY26 cash tax rate 0%-5%. “With Core’s mining portfolio at full strength and the vast majority of the merger-related operating synergies in full effect, we expect 2026 to mark an inflection point in Core’s operational and financial execution,” Brock stated. “We believe Core’s diversified portfolio of world-class assets – in concert with our extensive and strategic logistical network – positions us to capitalize on the most compelling market opportunities in the coal space, including resurgent power demand growth here in the United States, tightening global energy markets, and the ongoing infrastructure build-out in the developing world. Looking ahead, we expect to generate substantial amounts of free cash flow for deployment in our capital return program in future quarters, and to continue to showcase Core’s ability to generate stockholder value in a wide range of market environments.”
