February 23, 2026 - On February 13, 2026, Ramaco Resources disclosed it had been served with a summons in a putative securities class action filed on January 30, 2026, in the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit, brought by investor Lynn Henning on behalf of similarly situated shareholders, targets the company and two senior executives over alleged misstatements about the development and active mining status of its Brook Mine rare earth and critical minerals project in Wyoming during the July 31, 2025 to October 23, 2025 class period.

The complaint seeks class certification, compensatory damages, and recovery of legal and expert costs, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and related rules. Ramaco Resources has stated it believes the claims are without merit and that it will defend the case vigorously, setting up a legal dispute that could carry financial and reputational implications for the miner and its leadership depending on the litigation’s outcome.

Spark’s Take on METC Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, METC is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weakening financial performance (profitability decline, net losses, and weaker free cash flow). Offsetting this are moderately favorable technicals (price above key short/medium-term averages with positive MACD) and a more constructive forward narrative from the earnings call and recent financing/capital-return events, though valuation remains challenging due to losses (negative P/E).
