Suncoke Energy ( (SXC) ) has provided an announcement.
On February 17, 2026, SunCoke Energy reported a full-year 2025 net loss attributable to shareholders of $44.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, and a fourth-quarter 2025 net loss of $85.6 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, as revenues declined to $1.84 billion for the year and $480.2 million for the quarter versus 2024. Results were pressured by $109.3 million in unfavorable one-time items for 2025, including a non-cash impairment tied to the closure of the Haverhill I cokemaking facility, site closure and restructuring costs related to the Phoenix Global acquisition, weaker economics on the Granite City contract extension, and lower coke sales volumes following a breach of contract by Algoma, partially offset by contributions from Phoenix Global and a tax benefit.
Full-year 2025 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA fell to $219.2 million from $272.8 million in 2024, with fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA at $56.7 million, as a shift in the mix between contract and spot coke sales, lower coal-to-coke yields, and reduced Domestic Coke volumes weighed on performance. Despite these headwinds, SunCoke extended key coke supply agreements with U.S. Steel’s Granite City facility through December 2026 and Cleveland-Cliffs’ Haverhill II through December 2028, completed the Phoenix Global acquisition, and maintained strong safety metrics, while projecting 2026 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $230 million to $250 million on full utilization of its optimized 3.7-million-ton domestic coke fleet, improved terminal markets, and plans to use excess 2026 cash flow to reduce debt, sustain its dividend, and pursue growth opportunities, signaling an effort to stabilize margins and enhance long-term value for stakeholders.
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 driven primarily by weakening financial performance (margin compression, negative revenue trend, and sharply lower free cash flow), partially offset by improving near-term technical momentum and supportive valuation (low P/E and high dividend yield). Earnings-call updates weigh on the outlook due to reduced guidance and a significant free-cash-flow impact from the customer breach, while recent corporate developments add some stability and visibility.
