5. Peabody Energy Corp. (NYSE:BTU)

Peabody Energy saw its share prices jump by 7.91 percent on Tuesday to finish at $38.19 apiece, as investors gobbled up shares on expectations of strong coal demand from industries looking to minimize their exposure to the surging oil and gas prices.

Peabody Energy Corp. (NYSE:BTU) rallied alongside its counterparts, as oil and gas prices continue to spike up on supply restrictions from the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran.

Earlier this month, the stock earned a price target upgrade from UBS, albeit a mere 50-cent uptick from the $34 previously. The investment firm also maintained its neutral stance on its stock.
