As of July 18, 2025, two stocks in the energy sector could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term. An asset is typically considered overbought when the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi">RSI is above 70</a>, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
Here's the latest list of major overbought players in this sector.

UBS Initiates Coverage On Peabody Energy with Neutral Rating, Announces Price Target of $14

All other things being equal, coal represents a viable energy source, which theoretically should make Peabody Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>) a compelling investment. Of course, not all things are equal. For BTU stock, one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42982539/berkshire-hathaways-coal-plants-face-scrutiny-over-emissions-health-impacts">core headwinds is the underlying industry's emissions</a>, a matter that clashes with ongoing movements to pivot toward clean and renewable solutions. But that's also why President Donald Trump has been a godsend for BTU stock.
Earlier this year in April, Trump unveiled <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44701436/trump-unleashes-beautiful-clean-coal-policies-as-wall-street-tanks-sp-500-hits-1-year-low">sweeping plans to revive U.S. coal production</a>, representing a paradigm shift from the environmentally forward agendas of the Biden and Obama administrations. Under the initiative, federal agencies have been directed to fast-track mining permits, slash environmental regulations and expand coal leases on federal lands.
"Pound for pound, coal is the single most reliable, durable, secure, and powerful form of energy on Earth," the president declared, offering a conspicuous departure from contemporary talking points. While coal as a <a href="https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/coal/coal-and-the-environment.php">fuel</a> source is a scientific reality, as the U.S. Energy Information Administration states, "producing and using coal affects the environment."
Not coincidentally, BTU stock popped higher when Trump made his announcement. Since the close of April 7, BTU has gained about 44%. Not only that, the security has printed an upward trend channel, arresting the steep decline that occurred since early November last year.
With the president signing the "Big Beautiful Bill" — through which he emphasized that the U.S. will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46271577/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-slashes-solar-incentives-cathie-woods-ark-says-nuclear-may-now-be-cheapest-option-oklo-smr-ltbr-and-other-stocks-in-focus">rely on traditional industries</a> like coal to meet the nation's growing energy needs — BTU stock appears to have caught a lifeline. Even better for options traders, market makers may be offering an enticing proposition.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leveraging Applied Game Theory To Set Up BTU Stock</h2>
While it's always nice to converse about a company's fundamentals to understand the underlying color and context, at the end of it all, it becomes an exercise of financial cosplay. As options traders, we need a working thesis that captures two components: expected magnitude (y-axis) and time frame (x-axis). To meet this requirement, we may use applied game theory — essentially the deployment of practical strategies to improve our odds.
Before we can even talk about game theory, however, we must understand the rules of the game. As is central to any fair competition, the rules must be the same for all competitors. When it comes to trading or investing, the opponent is really the market. As such, there's no reason to give it an advantage by attempting to analyze the share price, which constantly fluctuates and creates unnecessary noise.
Instead, we can strip down this noise by converting all price action into market breadth or sequences of accumulative and distributive sessions. This way, we're answering one question, arguably the most important question: was the market a net buyer or net seller? By analyzing the root of demand, we can more easily identify recurring patterns via the segregation of price action into discrete events.
Conducting the above exercise for BTU stock across rolling 10-week intervals reveals the following demand structure:

In the trailing two months, BTU stock has printed a "4-6-U" sequence: four up weeks, six down weeks, with a positive trajectory across the 10-week period. It's a relatively rare sequence, having only materialized 17 times since January 2019. However, the main takeaway is that in 58.82% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 5.41%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14152307/BTU-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-984619" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14152307/BTU-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14152307/BTU-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14152307/BTU-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14152307/BTU-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
What's critical to note is that usually, BTU stock carries a negative bias. Therefore, the flashing of the 4-6-U sequence provides an edge that bullish options traders could potentially exploit. In addition, if the bulls maintain control of the market for the next few weeks, a push toward $16 is realistic, judging from the implications of past analogs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Powering Up On The Coal Trade</h2>
Based on the market intelligence above, aggressive but rational traders may consider the 15/16 bull call spread expiring Aug. 15. This transaction involves buying the $15 call and simultaneously selling the $16 call, for a net debit paid of $43 (the most that can be lost in the trade). Should BTU stock rise through the short strike price ($16) at expiration, the maximum reward is $57, a payout of almost 133%.
What makes this trade enticing is the sentiment shift implied by the flashing of the 4-6-U sequence. Ordinarily, the chance that a long position in BTU stock will be profitable on any given week is only about 47%. Therefore, if the implications of the sequence pan out as projected, the bulls have an edge that market makers (on the opposite side of the trade) don't appreciate.
It should be noted, though, that the coal industry has been notoriously volatile. Should the above transaction work out profitably before expiration, traders may consider exiting the call spread early. While this does impact the value of the spread due to the remaining time balance, the wildness of BTU stock should be accounted for.

Options Corner: Peabody Energy Could Ride A Red Wave Back To Relevance

Shares of coal stocks are trading higher following Senate passage of Trump's spending bill, which includes favorable implications for the sector.

It's already been an eventful week for U.S. markets, with tensions in the Middle East bubbling and then calming down following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46042703/iran-calls-us-bombing-of-nuclear-sites-very-very-dangerous-for-everybody">weekend of bombardment.</a> But despite the uncertainty regarding a potential ceasefire, the stock and commodities markets shrugged it off with the NASDAQ 100 finally notching a new all-time high and oil prices dipping back under $66 per barrel.
Markets are not out of the woods yet, as consumer sentiment continues to be shaky and the Fed remains on hold awaiting more economic data on the impact of tariffs. But the trend toward new all-time highs appears strong and retail traders are back to being bullish.

Each of the five stocks rates highly on Benzinga Edge's Value Score rankings and exhibits technical signals indicating that momentum shifts may be brewing beneath the surface.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Costamare Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Benzinga Edge Value Score: 98.04
Bulk shippers like Costamare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMRE#NYSE">CMRE</a>) have been caught in the Trump administration's tariff tug-of-war, but the decline has been so steep that the stock now appears undervalued. Despite a Q1 2025 earnings beat on both EPS and revenue, CMRE trades at just 3.7 times earnings and 0.5 times sales, and the dividend now yields over 5%.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXepogNA3oub0pkCTAE-Z1tJik259Dyf1zUxOYl00I0O1bb-228WkeiN_0bLeOw-H58rgG6TCAGG648vqj8Vbhxk-BLL23pBWuZ2A1gjIy6pLmgml2JBiLIoJ1dimfcwCPqqFeotng?key=hP5zZ9dGchmBHAd5CwfA1Q" alt="" /></figure>
CMRE spent most of the last 12 months in a prolonged downtrend. The stock peaked at $12.75 in June 2024 before dropping nearly 50%, with frequent false signals when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) tripped the Oversold alarm.&nbsp; But the stock rallied after the market bottom that followed Trump's reciprocal tariff announcement, gaining 10% and finally breaking through the long-term resistance level that had been in place for nearly a year. The RSI anticipated the breakout and actually triggered an Overbought signal twice in May and June, but now that it's back below 70, the new uptrend can continue.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Peabody Energy Corp.&nbsp;</h2>
Benzinga Edge Value Score: 98.08
Coal miners have also struggled in 2025 despite reassurances from the Trump administration. Small caps like Peabody (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>) ($1.54 billion market cap) have been trending downward since Election Day. But BTU now trades at just 5 times forward earnings and 0.4 times sales, but its terrible start to 2025 (down 40% year-to-date) could be about to change. 
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfX88YZ1zVqX8S0ODVvGaIsbqlVMPbJVvQwyRuFdNFUxuE1_GwHNMv2wqPlCrEFp1AtWvhErPuUtfKjbjMpBBfPjkFcmx5Rj_5vepvdoj2-354hA0QxQC-bDTycZw4Om8r0T3JI?key=hP5zZ9dGchmBHAd5CwfA1Q" alt="" /></figure>
Peabody's stock didn't experience a lengthy drawdown like CMRE, but the decline's brevity didn't mask its fierceness. The stock dropped more than 60% from Election Day to Easter, trading in a tight range with multiple failed attempts to breach support and resistance levels. The downtrend finally broke in April, and although the stock hasn't exactly gone parabolic, the breakout was confirmed by a bullish MACD crossover in May. The climb back to new highs might be a slow one, but BTU has an attractive valuation and a chart signaling the momentum has turned. It also still has a short interest of over 17%, which could further fuel any rallies in the coming days or weeks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hello Group Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Benzinga Edge Value Score: 97.31
Hello Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOMO#NASDAQ">MOMO</a>) was a meme stock before there were meme stocks; its chart from 2017 and 2018 is enough to give even seasoned investors vertigo. But those days are long gone, and the stock has spent years trying to break out of a fortress-like resistance level. However, now that the stock trades at just eight times earnings and 0.7 times sales, investors are giving it a second look, and that resistance level has finally been broken.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeqIMYt2D-5FPmnHZ_uycJYfVUM6YpwpfWPBVAv55Si8bSEmdGYFnbMmICjgpqFm7N9CyeylBor1Kg7qXSU3iNJvqpHfMR-rpui8p9nzZl0jTmylGY-Px19kB0_Og03AKpJcVT1Tw?key=hP5zZ9dGchmBHAd5CwfA1Q" alt="" /></figure>
Talk about lengthy range-bound trading, Hello Group has traded between $5 and $8 since September 2023, and has failed multiple attempts to break through the resistance level above the $8 mark. But the MACD is showing outsized bullish momentum compared to previous quarters. The share price finally crested $8.15 for the first time in nearly two years. Volatility is increasing (did you expect something different with the ticker MOMO?), but if the old resistance level becomes support, this stock might not be done posting explosive gains in 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hamilton Insurance Group Ltd.&nbsp;</h2>
Benzinga Edge Value Score: 95.46
Hamilton (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HG#NYSE">HG</a>), a small-cap insurer based in Bermuda, has a market capitalization of $2.15 billion and annual sales of $2.3 billion. Strong earnings and guidance raises have fueled the stock's recent upward move, as the company handily beat EPS (0.48 per share vs. the expected 0.04) and revenue estimates ($843 million vs. the expected $498 million). But despite this massive beat, the stock still trades at just 5 times forward earnings and 0.9 times sales. 
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfpPbi5r2etuPt1EIIZowVx3H4uW2WOWxCi8fU0PFtBA9UG1fwnOpVci1FucqSDMPc-9yfRD9qvdOuBlp5tNDwJNuNnNYYGA5vn9utbV2AX4LP6GcvvbkMU4bmrkkqkBeTFPTSzPw?key=hP5zZ9dGchmBHAd5CwfA1Q" alt="" /></figure>
Above is a chart showing an undervalued company poised to build a new bull market. The stock price has been trading above both the 50-day and 200-day MAs, with the 50-day MA acting as support since mid-2024. Trump's tariffs briefly interrupted this trend, but the price quickly rose back above both MAs and appears to be balancing along the 50-day once again. The RSI is also back under 60 after a brief venture into Overbought territory, so another bounce off the 50-day would likely have strong upside momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tri-Pointe Homes Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Benzinga Edge Value Score: 95.14
Investing in homebuilders is a dicey proposition at the moment, considering the headwinds facing the construction industry. However, Tri-Pointe's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPH#NYSE">TPH</a>) surprisingly strong Q1 2025 earnings indicate a resilient company capable of weathering economic turbulence. TPH posted EPS figures of $0.70 per share, easily exceeding the $0.45 per share estimate. The April report also triggered a momentum shift in the stock, which currently trades at just 8.9 times forward earnings and 0.65 times sales.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeDNgKBM88C12hDZmnsVLwopEb16MbGlyPNMOyDcylqxqTQWvF_bLukcvCnDXwF6O4NXh1gpzT4GWBJ6m31JGOwgYSg4-Ao8sf8ytTSwfcNKN4QsfphbXe46Qnj6CAbuq54dapFhQ?key=hP5zZ9dGchmBHAd5CwfA1Q" alt="" /></figure>
Like most homebuilders, TPH's shares couldn't shake downward momentum as high mortgage rates kept the housing market frozen. Housing is still struggling to gain traction (highlighted by this week's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/macro-notification/25/06/46070420/us-home-sales-sink-to-slowest-may-since-2009-as-mortgage-rates-and-record-prices-keep-buyers-on-the-sidelines">poor report</a> in new home sales), but TPH has finally broken its downtrend, and momentum is slowly consolidating at a new support level. The RSI has been trending upward in unison with the stock price, giving more weight to the momentum shift. And with the RSI sitting at 57, the upswing likely has more room to run.

5 Undervalued Small Caps Showing Signs Of Breaking Out

In an era dominated by the rush toward renewable energy, coal might seem like some relic of the past. Yet, for people willing to look beyond the headlines, the coal industry holds hidden gems. <a href="https://www.peabodyenergy.com/">Peabody Energy</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>), the largest coal producer in the United States, stands out as a compelling opportunity. Trading at a steep discount to its intrinsic value, with robust financials and a global footprint, Peabody offers a rare blend of stability and growth potential. This coal titan is a standout choice, poised to reward those who see its enduring relevance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Legacy of Strength in a Shifting Industry</h2>
Peabody Energy, founded in 1883 and based in St. Louis, Missouri, has weathered over a century of economic cycles to emerge as one of a global leader in coal production. The company operates 17 mines across the United States and Australia, extracting both thermal coal for power generation and metallurgical coal for steelmaking. Its crown jewel, the North Antelope Rochelle Mine in Wyoming, produces over 60 million tons of thermal coal annually, making it one of the world's largest coal operations. In Australia, Peabody's Queensland and New South Wales mines, including the recently reactivated Centurion Mine, cater to the growing demand for metallurgical coal in Asia.
Such kind of diversified portfolio sets Peabody apart. While thermal coal faces headwinds in developed markets due to the shift toward renewables, metallurgical coal remains a critical input for steel production, particularly in fast-growing economies like China and India. With exports to over 26 countries-generating 55-63% of its revenue from international markets- Peabody is not tethered to any single region. Global reach, combined with its operational efficiency, positions the company to navigate the complexities of a transitioning energy landscape.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Financial Fortitude: A Case for Undervaluation</h2>
Peabody's financial health tells a story of resilience and opportunity. At a share price of $14.61, the company trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 6.5, far below the coal industry average of 9.04. This suggests a 40% discount to peers, implying a fair value closer to $17.72 based on its earnings per share of $1.96. The stock's price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 0.42 is equally striking, indicating that the market values Peabody at less than half its book value-a rarity in today's market. Similarly, its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 0.4 reflects a market capitalization of $1.54 billion, just 40% of its $4.24 billion in annual revenue.
The company's operational efficiency shines through in its enterprise value-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.7, among the lowest in the industry, signaling that Peabody generates strong earnings relative to its $1.37 billion enterprise value. Its balance sheet is equally impressive: a debt-to-assets ratio of 7.8% and a debt-to-equity ratio of 12.8% reflect minimal leverage, while its EBITDA covers interest expenses 9.5 times. With a current ratio of 2.2, Peabody can comfortably meet short-term obligations. Add to that $205.2 million in free cash flow and a price-to-cash-flow ratio of 2.6, and it's clear the company is a cash-generating machine, supporting both its modest 2.4% dividend yield and future growth initiatives.
Peabody's metrics reveal a company that offers deep value and strong fundamentals, boasting profitability metrics-10.5% operating margin, 10.5% net margin, 11.1% return on equity, and 10.3% return on assets- that compete with far pricier rivals. Peabody opens to us as a bargain, hiding in plain sight.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Coal Conundrum: Challenges and Catalysts</h2>
The coal industry is at a crossroads. In 2025, thermal coal prices hover around $95 per ton, weighed down by reduced demand in Europe and softer imports from China. Metallurgical coal, by contrast, commands $183 per ton, buoyed by steady steel production in Asia. Production costs vary-$10-20 per ton for U.S. thermal coal and $60-90 per ton for Australian metallurgical coal-but Peabody's margins remain healthy, thanks to its low-cost operations and diversified revenue streams.
Long-term challenges loom, particularly in developed markets where environmental regulations and the push for renewables are squeezing thermal coal demand. Yet, recent events underscore coal's enduring role. Power outages in Spain and Portugal, linked to overreliance on renewables, highlight the risks of grids where green energy exceeds 15% of capacity. In developing economies, coal remains a cornerstone of energy security, with India and Southeast Asia driving demand. Moreover, underinvestment in new coal deposits over the past decade has depleted global reserves-Peabody's own stood at 2.4 billion tons in 2022-setting the stage for potential supply shortages and price spikes.
Peabody is pretty well-equipped to capitalize on these dynamics. Its low debt and high cash flow provide a buffer against price volatility, while its focus on metallurgical coal aligns with Asia's industrial growth. The reactivation of the Centurion Mine in Australia further strengthens its position in this resilient segment, where reserve growth outpacing industry trends.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Peabody Shines as a Top Stock Pick</h2>
Peabody Energy offers a compelling case for investors seeking value and resilience. At $14.61, its stock is undervalued by nearly 40% relative to its fair value, with analysts projecting a price target of $27.60-an 88.9% upside. This discount persists despite stable coal prices and Peabody's operational strength, suggesting that market skepticism about coal's future is overstated. The company's diversified revenue, minimal debt, and robust cash flow provide a margin of safety, while its 2.4% dividend yield adds an income component.
Catalysts for growth are on the horizon. A rebound in coal prices, driven by supply constraints or renewed energy demand, could unlock significant value. Continued steel production in Asia ensures steady demand for metallurgical coal, while coal's role as a reliable energy source may see a resurgence in markets grappling with renewable energy's limitations. Risks, such as regulatory pressures and price volatility, are real but mitigated by Peabody's financial discipline and global diversification.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Resounding Recommendation</h2>
Peabody Energy stands out as a rare opportunity in a misunderstood sector. Its undervaluation, strong fundamentals, and strategic positioning make it a prime candidate for investors looking to capitalize on the coal industry's resilience. With a "Strong Buy" rating from analysts and a clear path to significant upside, Peabody is not just a stock- it's a story of value waiting to be rediscovered. For those willing to dig a little bit deeper, this coal giant is a shining prospect.

Simply Good Foods, Pacific Biosciences of California, Kura Sushi, Delta Air Lines And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Wednesday

Leading coal stocks rallied on Tuesday amidst a broader market decline after President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at &#8220;reinvigorating America's beautiful clean coal industry&#8221; according to a White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-reinvigorates-americas-beautiful-clean-coal-industry/">fact sheet</a>.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Trump signed an executive order that directed the Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council to designate coal as a &#8216;mineral&#8217; and accrue it with all the benefits that come with it.
The order ends the Jewell Moratorium that paused coal leasing on federal lands, while also directing relevant agencies to identify coal resources on federal lands, lifting red tape, barriers to mining, and prioritizing the industry. This is in sharp contrast to the prior administration, as Trump declared an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44701436/trump-unleashes-beautiful-clean-coal-policies-as-wall-street-tanks-sp-500-hits-1-year-low">end to the &#8220;war on beautiful, clean coal.&#8221;</a>
Leading coal producers, Peabody Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>), Warrior Met Coal Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCC#NYSE">HCC</a>), Core Natural Resources Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNR#NYSE">CNR</a>), and Alliance Resource Partners LP (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARLP#NASDAQ">ARLP</a>), all rallied following the news, helping marginally offset the steep year-to-date declines in the sector.

Why It Matters: According to Goldman Sachs, AI data centers can increase global power demand by 165% by the end of this decade.
However, Timothy Fox of Washington-based research firm Clearview Energy Partners says that coal has been in decline for years, and not due to carbon rules and regulations, but the availability of cheaper sources of energy, reported the Mining Weekly, a South African trade magazine.
He further notes that the demise of coal has been on the cards for years, since &#8220;Power-plant owners, operators and developers don't think of investments in terms of administrations — they think 10, 15, 20 years down the&nbsp;road.&#8221;
