Teck Resources (TSX: TECK.B) has failed to meet guidance for the third quarter when it comes to steelmaking coal sales.
Steelmaking coal sales amounted to 5.2 million tonnes, falling short of the lower end of guidance by 7.7%. The company had previously indicated that it expected to sell between 5.6 to 6.0 million tonnes during the third quarter.
The shortfall was blamed by the company on a “slower than anticipated supply chain recovery,” which follows a hot season for fires in British Columbia, as well as strikes at the ports and plant challenges. On the latter point, an improvement initiative is said to be underway, with results improving in the current quarter.

Teck Resources Class B shares last traded at $53.15 on the TSX.
