Consol Energy Inc. after-hours falls 1.77% following COO retirement and Q2 earnings announcement.

Consol Energy Inc. experienced a 1.77% decline in after-hours trading. The stock downturn was primarily influenced by the news of Vertex Energy, Inc.'s announcement of Chief Operating Officer (COO) James Rhame's retirement effective July 25, 2024, and Doug Haugh assuming the interim COO role. While the company's earnings schedule and Liberty Energy Inc.'s strong financial results might have been positive developments, they seem to have been overshadowed by the management change at Vertex, which could have contributed to the negative sentiment in the after-hours market.
