Peabody Energy Corp's net profit margin has shown significant fluctuations over the past few quarters. The company's net profit margin was positive and relatively stable in the first half of 2023, with figures ranging from 15.36% to 29.80%. However, there was a noticeable decline in profitability in the second half of 2022, with the net profit margin dropping to single digits and even turning negative in some quarters.

The most recent quarter, December 2021, and March 2021, had particularly low net profit margins, indicating challenges faced by the company during these periods. The negative margins in these quarters can be attributed to various factors such as higher expenses or lower revenues relative to costs.

Overall, it is important for stakeholders to closely monitor Peabody Energy Corp's financial performance and assess the reasons behind the fluctuations in net profit margin to make informed investment decisions.
