Here is what Horos Asset Management has to say about Ramaco Resources, Inc. in its Q3 2021 investor letter:
“As mentioned above, we also initiated a position in Ramaco. The decision to invest in this U.S. metallurgical coal producer stems from our positive outlook for this commodity, given its supply and demand dynamics—which we have already explained in the past because of our Warrior investment. The company is in a phase of expansion of its production capacity, which could lead it to produce more than 4 million tons per year, compared to the current c. 2.5 million. It concentrates part of its production on customers in the United States, where its mines are located. Finally, unlike most listed coal mining companies, the Board and management team control more than 75% of the shares, so they are fully aligned with the rest of the shareholders. Although the upside is now much lower, following the rally that Ramaco had since investing at the beginning of the quarter, we believe that it is still attractive in the current market context.”
