Profitability Growth Leverage Liquidity Cash Flow Returns 45 / 100
Financial Profile 45/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability
13

Core Natural has an operating margin of -4.4%, meaning the company retains $-4 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 13/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from 15.7% the prior year.

Growth
100

Core Natural's revenue surged 86.2% year-over-year to $4.2B, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 100/100.

Leverage
100

Core Natural carries a low D/E ratio of 0.09, meaning only $0.09 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
28

Core Natural's current ratio of 1.60 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 28/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow
26

While Core Natural generated $305.8M in operating cash flow, capex of $284.6M consumed most of it, leaving $21.2M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 26/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns
2

Core Natural generates a -4.2% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 2/100. This is down from 18.3% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral
4/9

Core Natural passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Mixed
-2.00x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Core Natural generates $-2.00 in operating cash flow ($305.8M OCF vs -$153.2M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage At Risk
-4.5x

Core Natural earns $-4.5 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$182.1M vs $40.1M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
