Alpha Metallurgical Resources Inc has shown a fluctuating trend in its operating profit margin over the past few years based on the provided data. The company started with negative operating profit margins in the range of -9.25% to -28.78% in early 2020, indicating challenges in generating profits from its operations.

However, there was a significant improvement in the operating profit margin from September 2021 onwards, reaching positive figures. The trend continued to improve steadily, with the operating profit margin increasing consistently quarter by quarter, reaching its peak at 39.94% by September 2022.

Subsequently, there was a slight dip in the operating profit margin from the peak value, but the company managed to maintain relatively healthy margins in the range of 20-30% until mid-2023. However, there was a noticeable decrease in the operating profit margin towards the end of 2024, dropping to 7.70%.

Overall, the upward trend from negative figures to positive margins between 2020 and 2022 indicates that Alpha Metallurgical Resources Inc made significant improvements in managing its operational efficiency and profitability. However, the slight decrease towards the end of 2024 suggests that the company may need to evaluate its operational strategies to sustain profitability in the future.
