Arch Resources Inc. (ARCH) saw its stock price soar by 5.11% on November 5th, 2024, following the release of the company's third quarter 2024 financial results and the announcement of a pending merger with Consol Energy.
The coal producer reported a net loss of $0.34 per diluted share for the third quarter, missing analysts' expectations of $1.89 per share. However, the company's revenue of $617.9 million surpassed the estimated $587.7 million, driven by strong coal demand and pricing.

While the details of the merger were not disclosed, investors seem to have viewed the move as a positive development, potentially driving the stock's surge on the day.
