Investing.com -- Hallador Energy (NASDAQ:HNRG) shares plummeted 19% following the announcement that a significant agreement with a global datacenter developer had been terminated. The company disclosed the termination of the deal in a filing with the SEC after the market closed on Thursday.

The terminated agreement, initially effective as of January 2, 2025, was positioned as a strategic move for Hallador Energy, which had been discussed during the company’s earnings call on May 12, 2025. The pact’s dissolution comes as a setback since the company and the datacenter developer were considering an additional exclusivity period while also engaging in non-exclusive discussions.

Despite the current circumstances, Hallador Energy remains optimistic about its future prospects. The company is actively seeking alternative opportunities and is in talks with several other interested parties. According to the SEC filing, Hallador believes that these ongoing negotiations could introduce competitive tension and potentially lead to a strategic transaction beneficial for its shareholders in the long run.

The market’s reaction to the news reflects the importance of the now-defunct agreement to Hallador’s strategic plans. Investors had anticipated that the partnership with the datacenter developer would provide a significant boost to the company’s growth trajectory.
