In other recent news, Atlas Energy Solutions reported its Q1 2025 earnings, revealing a significant shortfall in earnings per share (EPS) compared to analyst projections. The company posted an EPS of $0.01, well below the anticipated $1.06, although it exceeded revenue expectations with $297.6 million against a forecast of $234.1 million. Despite the revenue beat, the market reacted negatively, and investors were informed of a 9.03% drop in after-hours trading following the earnings release. Additionally, Atlas Energy Solutions completed the acquisition of Moser Energy Systems and launched the Dune Express logistics infrastructure, indicating strategic expansion efforts. Citi analyst Scott Gruber adjusted the price target for Atlas Energy Solutions, reducing it from $18.00 to $14.00, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. This adjustment followed the company’s earnings call and was influenced by revised estimates for proppant sales and logistics margins. Gruber’s updated financial model reflects a decrease in proppant sales estimates for 2025 and anticipates a gradual improvement in logistics margins. Despite these developments, Atlas Energy Solutions expects its adjusted EBITDA to remain relatively flat, forecasting $76 million for the second quarter and $302 million for the full year 2025.
