AMERICAN RESOURCES CORPORATION (AREC). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2025-12-31.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 0 USD in 2025; YoY growth -100.0%; ROE 718.3%.

The estimated value range is 8.84–10.02 USD per share (median of 1 methods, agreement: single method); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 9.25 USD, the price of 1.00 USD leaves a potential of 828.6% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of 89.2% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

In brief

American Resources Corporation (AREC) is a Fishers, Indiana company that began as a fuel station operator and now focuses on critical minerals, metal recycling and metallurgical coal. In 2025 it reported no revenue from metal recovery and sales, so losses and financing remain central themes and the outlook depends on resuming revenue-generating activity.

SWOT

Strengths

  • The company has a diversified portfolio of mining, recycling and purification assets, and its chromatographic separation technology is presented as a cost and environmental advantage.
  • Access to asset-backed bond financing for a coal project shows an ability to attract capital for specific developments.
  • Partnerships with companies in the battery and magnet supply chains could widen access to customers in the electrification industry.

Weaknesses

  • In 2025 the company generated no revenue from metal sales, and operating expenses remained high.
  • The group structure changed through deconsolidations, which makes year-on-year comparison difficult.
  • A small number of direct employees may limit the capacity to execute several projects at once.

Opportunities

  • Demand for domestic sources of rare earths and battery minerals could support contracts with equipment makers.
  • If magnet and battery recycling expands, the recovered metals division could return to revenue.
  • If the planned spin-offs are completed, each entity could attract investors with its own profile.

Threats

  • Pressure on coal prices and production cuts could weigh on the mining division.
  • If financing becomes more expensive or harder to obtain, development plans could be postponed.
  • Competition from better-resourced producers and from China could limit the company's positions.

Risks

  • No recurring revenuehigh

    The company recorded no revenue from metal recovery in 2025, and a return to activity depends on strategic and market factors.

  • Reliance on external financinghigh

    Operating cash flow was negative in 2025, and the company relies on existing cash, debt and equity issuance.

  • Litigationmedium

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • If the rare earth and recycling partnerships turn into contracts, the company could return to revenue within a short period.
  • The purification technology could become an advantage if demand for domestic sources independent of China grows.
  • The planned spin-offs could unlock the value of the divisions if each entity secures its own funding.

What would break the thesis

  • With no sales revenue, the company depends on outside capital, which can lead to dilution for shareholders.
  • If coal prices stay under pressure, the mining division could keep generating losses.
  • Frequent structural changes and deconsolidations can make it hard to assess the real results of the business.

The business

The company was formed to build a chain of gasoline, diesel and natural gas fueling stations, but its activity later shifted toward mining and processing. Through American Infrastructure Corporation it controls six coal mining and processing subsidiaries in the Central Appalachian and Illinois coal basins, producing metallurgical coal for steel and other industries. Through Electrified Materials Corporation and ReElement Technologies it pursues metal recovery and the purification of rare earth and critical elements 12. At the end of fiscal 2025 it had 7 direct employees and a cash balance of $31,701,916, a figure to be read alongside its losses and the deconsolidation of some entities 1.

Segments

Metallurgical and PCI coal (American Infrastructure)

The coal subsidiaries produce metallurgical coal for steelmaking and pulverized coal injection products, as well as high-BTU, low sulfur bituminous coal. According to the annual report these assets were historically central to revenue, but in 2025 there were no metal recovery sales and the deconsolidation of American Infrastructure at year end changes the reporting perimeter 1.

Market context

The annual report describes the markets for critical minerals, recycled metals, metallurgical coal and rare earths as dependent on pricing, regulatory uncertainty and global economic conditions. Coal consumption and production in the U.S. have been shaped by the global economy, a strong U.S. dollar and production cuts 1. The company says it can produce its elements at competitive costs, but if project development is delayed its position in these markets could remain limited 2.

Trends

  • Rebuilding the critical mineral supply chaintailwind

    Company releases point to partnerships for rare earth magnets and battery recycling, against a backdrop of demand for domestic sources independent of China. If these partnerships turn into contracts they could support future revenue.

  • Weaker coal demand and production cutsheadwind

    The annual report links coal performance to production cuts and a strong dollar, factors that can compress prices and volumes sold.

  • Debt and equity financingmixed

    Liquidity in 2025 was supported by equity issuances, warrant exercises and other financing, while financing obligations increased interest expense. Continued access to capital may be decisive for the company's plans.

  • Separation of assets into standalone entitiesmixed

    The company has pursued spin-offs to unlock value in its divisions, but the deconsolidation of some entities at the end of 2025 makes year-on-year comparison harder.

Competitive position

The annual report names as principal domestic competitors producers of coal and critical minerals such as MP Materials, Lithium Americas, Ramaco Resources, Arch Resources, Contura Energy and Warrior Met Coal. Many of these have greater financial resources and larger deposit bases. The company also competes with producers in China, Australia, Colombia, Indonesia and South Africa 1.
