O’keefe Stevens Advisory stated the following regarding Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (NYSE:HCC) in its fourth quarter 2023 investor letter:

“Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (NYSE:HCC) is the other commodity producer in the portfolio, and what a year 2023 was. It’s startling how two companies (EAF and HCC) having the same end market (steel)(EAF – electric arc furnace production)(HCC – blast oxygen furnace) could see their product prices and demand drivers move in opposite directions. If anything, the continued switch toward electric arc furnaces suggested that Graftech had more tailwinds over the past several years. Yet the business performance has been just the opposite. These investments take up substantial time and continually search for reasons why the stocks move lower daily, but also a mental drain; watching a stock move lower and lower wears one down over time.”
