Peabody Buy Rating Holds Despite Deal Uncertainty
Peabody Energy (NYSE:BTU) maintains Jefferies' high-risk Buy rating even as its $3.7 B takeover of Anglo American's met coal assets teeters on arbitration risk. Shares jumped 3.9% on Monday as investors digested the uncertainty around deal terms and next steps. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with BTU. Jefferies analyst Christopher LaFemina warns that arbitration may now be the base case rather than a renegotiated agreement, adding that things could get messy. Peabody's updated guidance calls for lower full-year costs in Seaborne Thermal, Seaborne Met and the Powder River Basin, while volume forecasts were raised for PRB and Seaborne Thermal. The company ended Q2 with $586 million in cash against $344 million of long-term debt, but free cash flow breakeven in H2 remains a stretch amid weak coal markets. LaFemina expects EBITDA improvement in H2 2025 if coal prices stabilize from current trough levels, but he cautions that the deal overhang will weigh on the share price. He still views BTU as a high-risk, high-reward opportunity near the bottom of the cycle, suggesting investors consider buying on weakness. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Silver Airways cancels flights, tells passengers not to go to airport via Instagram
Silver Airways abruptly scuttled all of the Florida regional carrier's flights and told passengers booked on flights scheduled to depart Wednesday not to go to the airport. The bankrupt carrier said in an Instagram post that it would no longer serve customers as of June 11. Silver Airways also said it struck an agreement to sell it assets to a buyer that decided not to continue the carrier's flight operations, part of an effort to restructure the company's debt. The Hollywood/Fort Lauderdale-based airline, which launched in 2011 and which has hubs in Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Orlando, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December, saying the move would allow it to raise money and remain competitive. Silver Airways canceled 52 flights Wednesday, according to flight tracking site FlightAware. Industry analysts said they weren't surprised the airline had shut down. "It was more a matter of when, rather than if, Silver would shut down," Atmosphere Research Group airline industry analyst Henry Harteveldt told CBS News. Silver served more than a dozen destinations across Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean. It also owned a subsidiary airline, Seaborne, that operated seaplanes flying to the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas. In its social media post, Silver said it would refund customers' purchases through either their credit card companies or the travel agency through which they booked flights. and contributed to this report.

Percentages by Nuala O'Connor
The woman on the TV news is listing tariffs, but my ear is only half open to the drone of percentages due to land on chewing gum and vapes, communion wafers and negligées, on tinfoil, snowploughs, and gym equipment. Until, among all this, plus tents and motorcycles, the newsreader says there will be tariffs on poetry. I drop my fork, loaded with pear and melon chunks, and yelp, 'A tax on poetry?' then a farm flashes onto the screen, and I see hens upon hens upon hens. Nuala O'Connor's sixth novel, Seaborne, was shortlisted for An Post Irish Book Awards Novel of the Year. Her fifth poetry collection, Menagerie, was published by Arlen House this year.
