Where coal stocks stand now
As of 12 October 2026, Coal (COAL) ranks #100 of the 115 groups Zensei tracks by one-month return against the S&P 500. It is losing its lead. It built a 15.7-point advantage over the S&P 500 across the longer, time-shifted window, but over the past month it has slipped 9.4 points behind the market — the Cooling quadrant of the rotation map.
On the shorter tape, COAL's momentum reads strong: the recent hourly trend is positive across every lookback Zensei measures. COAL's relative-strength line has broken below its long-term average — the long-term outperformance trend is no longer intact. That tension — a firm short-term tape against a damaged longer trend — is usually resolved within a few weeks, one way or the other.
The exposure comes via Range Global Coal Index ETF, whose 27 tracked holdings are led by Warrior Met Coal Inc, Alpha Metallurgical Resources Inc and Yancoal Australia Ltd. Weighted by portfolio, the fund's holdings trade at roughly 20.6× earnings. The thing to watch from here is whether this is a pause or a handoff: cooling groups sometimes reset and reclaim leadership, but a deepening one-month deficit usually means rotation has moved on.
