What does everyone think of coal stocks going into 2025?

When DT won in 2016 almost every single coal stock more than doubled by mid-2017. This time around the momentum is not there it appears. In fact many coal stocks are down more now than in early November 2024.

Of all coal stocks I like the following the most: ARLP (it is the Microsoft or Apple of coal stocks in my opinion). I also like NXE and have swing traded it in the past. NXE seems a little less volatile than ARLP and a little more easy to predict week to week.

Is coal just not a good investment anymore and all stocks in the industry will just not have the early 2017 momentum ever again?
