A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Exceeded at least one reported measure. In FY2025, METCB's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (operating-cash-flow payout 220%). A payout above 100% in one year is not necessarily unsustainable, but it is not fully covered by that measure.
- Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings were not positive that year
- Operating-cash-flow payout220% dividends / operating cash flow — capital spending was not reported, so this does not subtract it
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How RAMACO RESOURCES INC CLASS B looks technically
RAMACO RESOURCES INC CLASS B (METCB) is trading 37.3% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 139 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 22 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 49, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 10 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 12 trading days ago. It is 68.8% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 37.3% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -37.3% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $7.78 | $7.78 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $10.87 | $10.87 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 7 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 7 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five; the labelling fails if price closes above 6.922. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 3 (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 139 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 139 sessions |

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 49, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 48.5 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($5.80 to $7.00) — its "stochastic" reading is 84 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 84.2 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 10 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 10 sessions |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $21.85 (set on 2025-10-14) | $21.85 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($6.05 to $21.41), and it has recovered only a small part of its fall from last year’s high — 5% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $15.55 to $16.04. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 4.9% |
| From the all-time high | it is 68.8% below its all-time high | -68.8% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 2.5% below a resistance level at $6.98 — a price it turned at four times since 2025-06-02, most recently on 2026-08-14. Since 2024-08-21 it has 1 such level below the current price and 15 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +2.5% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $5.80 (set on 2026-08-07) | $5.80 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 17.4% above its all-time low | +17.4% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are narrower than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (tighter than about 75% of it) | 25th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.5831 between its high and its low — about 8.6% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.5831 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $5.99 and $7.04 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $5.99 – $6.51 – $7.04 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 8.6% in a typical session — among the most volatile in the catalog. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 8.6% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 7.0 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (37.3% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 7.0 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

| Since a bullish engulfing | 2 sessions ago it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | 2 sessions ago |

Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 1.3% above the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and had not traded back through that level by the close | +1.3% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 4.6% gap down opened on 2026-08-20 has been "filled" today — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 1 session to close | today |

Signal agreement

| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, lagging the market over 6 months, near the top of its 14-day range (overbought), trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 25% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-16 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is thick, spanning 16.2% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | -24.8% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
1
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 31% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $9.92 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 155 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -31.4% |

Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $6.92.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
This reading has stood for 1 trading day, since 2026-08-21.

What changed in the latest 10-Q
AI-assisted comparison of METCB's 10-Q filed 2026-05-11 against the prior one filed 2025-10-28.
Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Reworded:
- Newer filing (2026-05-11) formats 'Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis' as a single line; older filing (2025-10-28) breaks it across two lines as 'Item 2. Management's Discussion' and 'and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations'
- Notes:
- Both filings contain identical substantive content and end mid-sentence at the same point ('under the heading "'), suggesting the comparison is limited to the opening boilerplate section
- The difference identified is formatting/line-breaking only, not substantive content change
Risk Factors
- Added:
- Added reference to Brook Mine and rare earth elements (REE) and critical minerals projects in forward-looking statements (filed 2026-05-11)
- Added bullet point about rare earth element oxides in mineralized material in Brook Mine being realized (filed 2026-05-11)
- Added bullet point about successfully developing Brook Mine into commercial scale mine (filed 2026-05-11)
- Added 'rare earth element and other critical minerals mining, processing, refining, and commercialization activities' in forward-looking statements (filed 2026-05-11)
- Changed wording from 'rare earth elements and critical minerals' to 'rare earth elements and other critical minerals' throughout (filed 2026-05-11)
- Removed:
- Removed 'the expected commercialization of rare earth elements and critical minerals operations' as standalone bullet point (filed 2025-10-28)
- Removed reference to 'Annual Report...for the year ended December 31, 2024' and changed to 'year ended December 31, 2025' (filed 2025-10-28)
- Removed 'coal and rare earth elements and critical mineral oxide' and changed to 'anticipated coal production levels' and separate references (filed 2025-10-28)
- Removed 'rare earth elements and critical minerals resources' and changed to 'metallurgical coal reserves and rare earth elements and other critical mineral inferred resources' (filed 2025-10-28)
- Removed 'rare earth and critical mineral operations' and changed to 'rare earth elements and other critical mineral project and exploration' (filed 2025-10-28)
- Removed 'coal and rare earth elements and critical mineral oxides' and changed to 'metallurgical coal, thermal coal, and rare earth elements and other critical mineral products' (filed 2025-10-28)
- Reworded:
- Changed 'geologic, equipment, permitting' to 'geology, equipment, permitting' (filed 2026-05-11)
- Changed 'coal mining, REE and critical minerals mining and mining in general' to 'our mining and exploration projects and mining in general' (filed 2026-05-11)
- Changed 'incident to the development, production, gathering and sale of coal' to 'incident to the development, production, gathering and sale of metallurgical coal assets and the exploration of rare earth elements and other critical minerals' (filed 2026-05-11)
- Removed reference to 'and in our Form 10-K' from final bullet point, changed to 'in this Quarterly Report' only (filed 2026-05-11)
- Notes:
- Balance sheet data presented differs between filings (March 31, 2026 vs. September 30, 2025 for older filing), indicating these are from different quarterly periods and not directly comparable balance sheet sections
- The older filing appears truncated at the balance sheet section, making full risk factors comparison limited to forward-looking statements section

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.
Institutional ownership (13F)
5 institutional 13F filers reported holding METCB as of 2026-03-31 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 5
- Reported shares held 293,273
- Reported value $2,991,388
reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 0 new, 3 increased, 2 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade. Informational only — not financial advice.
Short interest (FINRA)
METCB had 168,679 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for METCB because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 168,679
- Prior settlement (shares) 205,467
- Reported change -17.9%
- Days to cover (reported) 3.03
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
