Description: SXC SunCoke Energy October 22, 2025
SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE:SXC) is an independent producer of metallurgical and thermal coke operating in the United States and Brazil. The business is organized into three segments-Domestic Coke, Brazil Coke, and Logistics-and also offers material-handling and mixing services to steelmakers, utilities, and other industrial customers. Founded in 1960 and headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, SunCoke owns and runs cokemaking facilities in both countries.
Key operational metrics (as of the most recent 10-K filing) include an average annual coke production of roughly 2.4 million short tons and a logistics revenue contribution of about 12 % of total sales. The company’s EBITDA margin has hovered near 15 % over the past two years, but its net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of ~3.2× reflects a moderate leverage profile. Primary economic drivers are global steel demand (which underpins coke consumption), natural-gas price volatility (affecting production costs), and tightening environmental regulations that could spur demand for higher-quality, low-sulfur coke.
For a deeper, data-rich analysis of SunCoke’s valuation dynamics-including scenario-based cash-flow modeling and peer-group comparisons-explore the company’s profile on ValueRay, where you can test the sensitivity of these drivers to your own investment thesis.
