SunCoke Energy Partners (SXCP) in Focus: Stock Up 9.3% - Tale of the Tape

SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (SXCP) was a big mover last session with its shares rising over 9% on the day. The upside was driven by the company's solid second-quarter results and increased cash distribution. This also led to far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This reverses the recent downtrend for the company, as the stock is now down roughly 10% in the past one-month time frame.

Over the last 30 days, this company witnessed two negative estimate revisions and the Zacks Consensus Estimate also moved lower, signaling trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if yesterday’s move higher lasts.

SunCoke Energy Partners currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

A better-ranked coal stock is Cloud Peak Energy Inc. (CLD) with a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
