Peabody stock tumbles, says committed to Arch Coal JV

US coal miner Peabody’s share price fell to an all-time low on Friday, after the St Louis-based company announced the previous day that it was terminating a cash tender offer to buy back $1-billion in debt.

The company on Thursday terminated its cash tender offers, noting that, “at this particular time, debt markets do not accommodate a path towards completing the offers and achieving the company’s refinancing objectives in an economic fashion”.
