Alliance Resource Partners shares surge 11.11% after-hours as Q4 EBITDA exceeds estimates and Benchmark reiterates Buy rating.

Alliance Resource Partners surged 11.11% in after-hours trading following a positive earnings report. The company’s fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $191 million exceeded both the consensus estimate of $181 million and Benchmark’s projection, prompting the firm to reiterate its “Buy” rating. This strong financial performance directly contrasts with other news, such as mine closure risks mentioned in unrelated reports, and aligns with the stock’s upward movement. Local news in Alliance, OH, and global market updates lacked direct relevance to the company’s operations or earnings, while philanthropy-related updates did not impact the energy sector. The earnings outperformance and upgraded analyst sentiment were the primary drivers of the after-hours rally.
