Yorktown IX Associates LLC, identified as a 10 percent holder of Ramaco Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:METC), executed two separate sales of Class B common stock in late March 2026 that together totaled 10,325 shares and produced approximately $111,532 in proceeds.
The block trades were split across two days:
- March 27, 2026 - 8,059 shares sold at a weighted average price of $10.9327, with transaction prices ranging from $10.55 to $11.285.

Following these dispositions, Yorktown IX Associates LLC retains an indirect holding of 1,216,317 shares of Ramaco Resources Class B common stock.
The insider sales coincided with a market price for Ramaco Resources of $15.46. The stock has demonstrated marked volatility: an 83 percent increase over the prior 12 months contrasted with a 55 percent decline over the most recent six-month period. An InvestingPro analysis referenced in company reporting indicates the share price appears overvalued relative to its Fair Value.
Additional company developments noted in recent disclosures provide context but do not directly explain the insider sales. Ramaco Resources published its Q4 2025 results, which highlighted strong cost management and operational resilience despite reporting a loss per share. The company attributed improvements in its financial position to proprietary technology and cost reductions.
Separately, Ramaco Resources announced a corporate reorganization plan that would divide the business into four separate operating divisions, each structured as a wholly owned subsidiary. The firm also initiated legal action by filing a trade secrets lawsuit against a former employee, identified as Alex J. Moyes, alleging misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract and seeking various forms of relief, including compensatory and punitive damages.
On the executive front, CEO Randall W. Atkins exercised stock options granted in 2017, resulting in acquisitions of both Class A and Class B shares. These options had been held for more than nine years prior to exercise.
The transactional detail, the company's recent financial narrative and the legal proceedings together create a multifaceted snapshot of Ramaco Resources as of late March 2026. Investors and observers are left to weigh the insider activity alongside the firm-level developments and the stock's divergent short- and long-term performance metrics.
