The Zacks Coal industry stocks staged a rebound in 2022 courtesy of global demand and surging natural gas prices.

The ongoing transition, with utility operators steadily phasing out coal units, will adversely impact the coal industry.

Hence, coal export from the United States is expected to improve in 2023 from the year-ago level.
