Until recently, we’ve viewed a lack of market confidence as mis-pricing WHC.

Over the journey, the company has maintained an earnings margin average of $13/t but it appears the market has been factoring in the future coal price and giving management little benefit for being able to sustain its margins, despite its track record.

The risk lies with the thermal coal price outlook and whether China continues to retreat from the trade.

Today the company announced record high ROM coal production of 5.7Mt for the March quarter, up 21% compared with the previous corresponding period and 44% YTD.

The company also recorded its highest quarterly saleable coal production of 5.3 Mt for March, up 28% compared to a year earlier, and 48% YTD.

Whitehaven Coal says that it is on track to meet FY2016 guidance for saleable coal to be in the range of 19.5 Mt to 20.1 Mt.

The miner says that costs guidance for the full year FY2016 is now expected to be $57/t.

We think momentum can now build in the stock and are prepared to be buyers..
