St. Louis-based Arch Coal is one of the nation's largest coal producers, with revenues of $2.4 billion in 2007. The company's core business is providing U.S. power generators with cleaner-burning, low-sulfur coal for electric generation. Through its national network of mines, Arch supplies the fuel for roughly 6 percent of the electricity generated in the United States.

We are maintaining our Buy recommendation on Arch
Coal and increasing our 2008 earnings estimate from
$2.37 per share to $2.64 per share. With international
and domestic coal prices at record levels, Arch s
market driven strategy should help maximize its reserve
base. Having significant unpriced volumes of 60% and
77% in 09 and 10, respectively and recently pricing
several million tons of 2008 unpriced production at
significant premiums to Q1 08 prices, we feel that ACI
will experience significant earnings growth in the near
term. Additionally, In Central Appal...

Arch coal reported better than expected fourth quarter earnings of $0.56 per share, beating ou EPS expectations by 44%. Strong results were associated with the early start-up and Q4 contribution from the Mountain Laurel longwall which doubled ACI s metallurgical and PCI sales and will continue to boost margins in the region as well. The company s market driven strategy has paid off as prices have remained near record levels and a significant portion of its 2008 and 2009 production is unpriced. This will allow them to leverage their reserve base and should give them great momentum throughout...
