Original source text
A securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Peabody investors after its stock plummeted over 9% because Peabody allegedly misled investors regarding the coal production at Centurion, its flagship premium hard coking coal mine.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) and certain of the Company's senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Peabody, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/peabody-class-action-lawsuit.

Key Details of the Peabody ($BTU) Class Action:

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: August 24, 2026 Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud relating to Peabody's statements about the coal production at Centurion, its flagship premium hard coking coal mine. Largest Alleged Stock Drop: March 30, 2026 – 9.7% stock drop Court: U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until August 24, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Peabody common stock. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. It is captioned McGeachy v. Peabody, et al., No. 26-cv-01020.

Why is Peabody Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

Peabody is a producer of metallurgic and thermal coal that owns interests in 16 active coal mining operations in the United States and Australia.

According to the complaint, during the relevant period, Peabody announced it would be increasing production from its flagship premium hard coking coal mine, Centurion due to an acceleration of longwall operations. Peabody stated that shipments of Centurion's premium hard coking coal would expand sevenfold in 2026 to 3.5 million tons and even more beyond that time. On February 5, 2026, Peabody indicated that the team was "putting the finishing touches on the Centurion mine in advance of starting longwall mining, well ahead of its original schedule."

As alleged, in truth, the Centurion mine was facing significant commissioning challenges resulting in increased costs and volume decreases in its production.

Why did Peabody's Stock Drop?

On March 30, 2026, Peabody announced lower sales volume from the Centurion mine due to a delivery of only 250,000 tons in the first quarter. Peabody attributed the low volume to "greater than anticipated mine commissioning challenges."

This news caused the price of Peabody common stock to drop $3.82 per share, or 9.7%, from $39.50 per share on March 27, 2026, to $35.68 per share on March 30, 2026.

Then, on May 5, 2026, Peabody announced additional delays to the commissioning of the Centurion mine as well as increased costs and lower volume. Peabody stated it only expected to sell about 300,000 tons in the second quarter and reduced its full year sales outlook for Centurion from 3.5 million tons to 2.5 million tons.

This news caused the price of Peabody common stock to drop $1.52 per share, or 5.7%, from $26.52 per share on May 4, 2026, to $25.00 per share on May 5, 2025.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman, a leading national shareholder rights law firm, is conducting an investigation into Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) regarding alleged violations of federal securities laws. This investigation follows the recent filing of a class action lawsuit, which alleges that Peabody misled investors concerning the operational status and production capabilities of its flagship underground longwall metallurgical coal mine, Centurion, in Queensland, Australia.

INVESTOR NOTICE: DEADLINE APPROACHING

Action: Submit your Peabody losses here Class Period: Oct. 14, 2024 – May 4, 2026 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Aug. 24, 2026 Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/btu  Contact the Firm Now: [email protected] | 844-916-0895 Focus of Peabody Energy (BTU) Securities Class Action:

The pending securities class action alleges that Peabody and its management made materially false and misleading statements regarding the true state of the Centurion mine and its readiness to achieve full-scale production. The complaint contends that throughout the class period, the company repeatedly assured investors that development was on track—highlighting in February 2026 that the team was installing the "very last shield" and that mining of premier metallurgical coal had begun.

Plaintiffs allege these statements were false because the company was encountering mechanical, electrical, and operational issues that severely impaired the ramp-up, all of which management allegedly knew or recklessly disregarded while maintaining positive production and financial guidance.

The truth behind these alleged misrepresentations emerged in stages through surprise disclosures. On March 30, 2026, Peabody filed a current report with the SEC abruptly slashing its first-quarter Centurion production guidance from approximately 700,000 tons down to roughly 250,000 tons.
The news sent the price of Peabody shares down almost 10%.

Subsequently, on May 5, 2026, the company disclosed further setbacks, lowering its full-year sales outlook for Centurion to 2.5 million tons and citing commissioning and operational headwinds. This full year 28% reduction helped send the price of Peabody shares down nearly 6%.

"Our investigation is actively probing the full scope of these pending claims to determine exactly when Peabody's management knew that the production ramp-up at the Centurion mine was falling off track," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation of the alleged claim in the pending suit.

Peabody Energy (BTU - Free Report) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.74 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.31. This compares to a loss of $0.06 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -138.71%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this coal mining company would post a loss of $0.01 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.26, delivering a surprise of -2500%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates.

Peabody Energy, which belongs to the Zacks Coal industry, posted revenues of $1 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.24%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $890.1 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Peabody Energy shares have lost about 21.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.5%.

What's Next for Peabody Energy?While Peabody Energy has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Peabody Energy was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.37 on $1.14 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.48 on $4.31 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Coal is currently in the top 7% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, Warrior Met Coal (HCC - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 5.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.54 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +1300%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 14.7% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.

Warrior Met Coal's revenues are expected to be $477.79 million, up 60.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Multiple Strategic Financial Actions Further Strengthen Capital Structure

, /PRNewswire/ -- Peabody (NYSE: BTU) today reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $(90.6) million, or $(0.74) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $(27.6) million, or $(0.23) per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Peabody reported Adjusted EBITDA1 of $24.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $93.3 million in the prior-year quarter.

"We're targeting strong cash generation for the second half of 2026, fueled by our seaborne metallurgical and thermal segments."

Other U.S. Thermal delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $26.9 million in the quarter. Sales volumes of 3.0 million tons came in 0.4 million tons below expectations, reflecting the impact of mild weather and heavy rainfall at the end of the quarter resulting in rail outages. Despite these challenges, costs of $46.13 per ton were in line with guidance, reflecting disciplined cost management.

Centurion Update

Centurion made meaningful commissioning progress during the quarter. The operating team has implemented effective processes to address face conditions while maintaining production momentum and is working through remaining roof control issues, which are due to a limited rock fault zone. With operational constraints significantly reduced, Peabody's focus is on achieving targeted production rates.

The company is now targeting annual Centurion sales of 2.0 to 2.5 million tons, including 0.5 to 0.7 million tons in the third quarter. Costs are expected to trend more in line with expectations as production volumes increase.

Financial Update

At June 30, 2026, the company had $526.3 million cash and total liquidity of $959.1 million.

"Peabody enhanced its capital structure through a series of strategic financial transactions, including an opportunistic refinancing of convertible notes, revised surety arrangements that reduced restricted cash and collateral by approximately $350 million and increased our revolving credit facility to $400 million," said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mark Spurbeck. "Together, these actions unlock shareholder value, jump start shareholder returns, lower borrowing costs and increase financial flexibility."

During the quarter, the company issued $250 million of 2031 convertible notes at a conversion price of $38.32 per share, which was effectively increased to $50.61 per share with a related capped call transaction. The company also repurchased $241.2 million of 2028 convertible notes for cash consideration of $386.8 million, effectively repurchasing 5.0 million shares. New surety arrangements resulted in a reduction to Restricted Cash and Collateral of approximately $350 million (43 percent). The company intends to evaluate additional 2028 convertible note repurchases and share repurchases in accordance with its shareholder return policy and financial strategy to increase free cash flow per share and maintain financial resiliency.

Third Quarter 2026 Outlook  

Seaborne Thermal

Volume is expected to be 3.0 million tons, including 1.9 million export tons. 1.1 million tons of Newcastle product and 0.8 million tons of high ash product are unpriced. Costs are anticipated to be $52—$57 per ton. Seaborne Metallurgical

Seaborne met volume is expected to be 1.9—2.1 million tons, a decrease from second quarter due to a longwall move at Metropolitan and an expected lock outage impacting sales at Shoal Creek. Sales are anticipated to achieve approximately 70-75 percent of the premium hard coking coal price index. Costs are anticipated to be $130—$140 per ton.  U.S. Thermal

PRB volume is expected to be 22 million tons at an average price of $13.60 per ton and costs of approximately $11.75—$12.25 per ton. Other U.S. Thermal volume is expected to be 3.7 million tons at an average price of $58.20 per ton and costs of approximately $45—$49 per ton.  2026 Guidance Targets

For the full year outlook, the company is updating guidance. Seaborne thermal expects a volume increase of 200 thousand tons to 12.7 million tons. Seaborne met costs are expected to increase by approximately $10 per ton, primarily due to lower volumes and elevated contract labor, materials and supply costs at Centurion. The company also is increasing Powder River Basin costs by $0.25 per ton, reflecting lower first-half shipments.

1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenue. Revenue per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton are equal to revenue by segment and Adjusted EBITDA by segment, respectively, divided by segment tons sold. Costs per Ton is equal to Revenue per Ton less Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton. Management believes Costs per Ton and Adjusted EBITDA Margin per Ton best reflect controllable costs and operating results at the reportable segment level. We consider all measures reported on a per ton basis, as well as Adjusted EBITDA margin, to be operating/statistical measures. Please refer to the tables and related notes herein for a reconciliation and definition of non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as (loss) income from continuing operations before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, asset retirement obligation expenses and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing the reportable segments' operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliation above. Adjusted EBITDA is used by the chief operating decision maker as the primary financial metric to measure each segment's operating performance against expected results and to allocate resources, including capital investment in mining operations and potential expansions.

(2)

Total Segment Costs is defined as operating costs and expenses adjusted for the discrete items that management excluded in analyzing each reportable segment's operating performance, as displayed in the reconciliation above. Total Segment Costs is used by management as a component of a metric to measure each segment's operating performance.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman, a leading national shareholder rights law firm, is conducting an investigation into Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) regarding alleged violations of federal securities laws. This investigation follows the recent filing of a class action lawsuit, which alleges that Peabody misled investors concerning the operational status and production capabilities of its flagship underground longwall metallurgical coal mine, Centurion, in Queensland, Australia.

INVESTOR NOTICE: DEADLINE APPROACHING

Action: Submit your Peabody losses here Class Period: Oct. 14, 2024 – May 4, 2026 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Aug. 24, 2026 Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/btu  Contact the Firm Now: [email protected] | 844-916-0895 Focus of Peabody Energy (BTU) Securities Class Action:

The pending securities class action alleges that Peabody and its management made materially false and misleading statements regarding the true state of the Centurion mine and its readiness to achieve full-scale production. The complaint contends that throughout the class period, the company repeatedly assured investors that development was on track—highlighting in February 2026 that the team was installing the "very last shield" and that mining of premier metallurgical coal had begun.

Plaintiffs allege these statements were false because the company was encountering mechanical, electrical, and operational issues that severely impaired the ramp-up, all of which management allegedly knew or recklessly disregarded while maintaining positive production and financial guidance.

The truth behind these alleged misrepresentations emerged in stages through surprise disclosures. On March 30, 2026, Peabody filed a current report with the SEC abruptly slashing its first-quarter Centurion production guidance from approximately 700,000 tons down to roughly 250,000 tons.

The news sent the price of Peabody shares down almost 10%.

Subsequently, on May 5, 2026, the company disclosed further setbacks, lowering its full-year sales outlook for Centurion to 2.5 million tons and citing commissioning and operational headwinds. This full year 28% reduction helped send the price of Peabody shares down nearly 6%.

"Our investigation is actively probing the full scope of these pending claims to determine exactly when Peabody's management knew that the production ramp-up at the Centurion mine was falling off track," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation of the alleged claim in the pending suit.

Peabody Energy čelí žalobě kvůli Centurionu

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) faces a securities class action lawsuit related to surprise disclosures the company made to investors on March 30 and May 5, 2026 about problems with its flagship metallurgical coal asset (“Centurion”).

The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Peabody common stock between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026.

Between March 27 (the trading day before the first cryptic disclosure) and the May 5, 2026 fuller disclosure, investors saw the price of Peabody shares crumble $14.50 (-36%). Accordingly, the severe market reactions upon the company’s revelations support national shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman’s investigation into legal claims that Peabody and its co-defendants violated the federal securities laws.

The firm encourages Peabody investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now.

Peabody Energy Corporation (BTU) Securities Class Action:

Peabody characterizes itself as a leading producer of metallurgical and thermal coal and has promoted Centurion, its underground longwall metallurgical coal mine in Queensland, Australia. According to the company, the mine commenced full-scale production in February 2026.

The litigation is focused on the propriety of Peabody’s statements about Centurion’s operational status and production capabilities.

For example, Peabody’s management informed investors on February 5, 2026 that “the team was installing the very last shield and putting the finishing touches on the Centurion Mine[,]” and “our team is charged up and has started mining some of the best metallurgical coal in the world.” The company and its management also assured investors that Centurion is “going to ramp up probably about 700,000 tons in Q1, about 1 million to 1.1 million tons in Q2 and Q3, and then it’ll fall back down in Q4 as we have a longwall move.” In response, the market rewarded these statements by sending the price of Peabody shares up about 7.8% the next day.

Just a few weeks later, on March 30, 2026, Peabody filed a current report with the SEC and abruptly disclosed that Centurion “is expected deliver approximately 250,000 tons in the first quarter[.]” In other words, the company slashed Centurion production by about 64%. The news sent the price of Peabody shares down almost 10%.

Then, on May 5, 2026, Peabody reported its Q1 2026 financial results. Of particular concern pertaining to Centurion, management revealed the truth about why it slashed the mine’s Q1 production assurance.

Despite telling investors in February that it was mining Centurion and would produce 700,000 tons in Q1, a new narrative emerged – “as part of our commissioning in February, we encountered temporary mechanical and electrical issues” – and “[a]s a result, our full year sales outlook for Centurion is now 2.5 million tons compared to our original expectation of 3.5 million tons.” This full year 28% reduction helped send the price of Peabody shares down nearly 6%.

“We’re focused on whether Peabody and its management were sufficiently transparent about Centurion’s operational capabilities during the Class Period and, if not, whether they violated federal securities laws,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.
