Competitors include Peabody Energy (BTU), Arch Resources (ARCH), and CONSOL Energy (CEIX). Revenue is variable based on spot prices and demand, but it's the company's primary source of revenue. Market share data is difficult to estimate as AREC's production is relatively smaller compared to the entire market.
- Rare Earth Elements (REEs): Extracted from coal refuse. Market share is emerging as the company develops its REE processing capabilities. Competitors include MP Materials (MP) and Lynas Rare Earths (LYC). The company is targeting a significant portion of the REE market, but revenue contributions are still developing. Market share data is difficult to estimate as AREC's production is relatively smaller compared to the entire market.
