Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Peabody Energy's Centurion mine and the multitude of issues causing delays to the ramp-up and the return to full longwall production dates. On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release lowering guidance pertaining to Centurion mine's expected first quarter 2026 output ahead of Peabody Energy's full earnings release. In pertinent part, defendants announced that sales volume from the Centurion mine was expected to deliver approximately 250,000 tons in the first quarter due to mining commissioning challenges (compared to previous estimates of around 700,000 tons). When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

, /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.

NEW YORK, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.

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

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: August 24, 2026Alleged 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 dropCourt: U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of MissouriAction: 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.

Time-Sensitive: Peabody Energy's Inflated Metallurgical Coal Segment Guidance for 2026 Allegedly Concealed Known Operational Failures at Centurion Mine

, /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt alerts investors in Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) of a pending securities class action. Class Period: October 14, 2024 through May 4, 2026. Find out if you may qualify to recover losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] | (888) SueWallSt.

Peabody's full-year 2026 metallurgical coal segment volume guidance was set at 10.3 to 11.3 million tons with costs targeted at $113 per tonne. That guidance was slashed by 1 million tons and costs ballooned to $123 to $133 per ton after concealed problems surfaced. The Court has set August 24, 2026 as the deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment. 

"Investors deserve transparency about material risks that could affect their investments. When a company issues volume and cost guidance while aware of significant commissioning obstacles, shareholders are entitled to know the full picture before making investment decisions." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

The Alleged Volume Guidance Inflation

The lawsuit asserts that management repeatedly reaffirmed met coal segment targets knowing that Centurion's ramp-up faced serious impediments. As late as February 2026, the Company projected Centurion would deliver 3.5 million tons for the full year and touted an acceleration of the longwall start-up timeline to February 2026 from the original March target. These projections allegedly formed the backbone of segment-wide volume guidance that investors relied upon when purchasing BTU shares at prices reaching $39.50.

Seaborne Met Coal Guidance: What Was Allegedly Omitted

The action claims that when management issued its 10.3 to 11.3 million ton met segment target, it failed to disclose several material facts:

The Company was deploying 8-year-old mining equipment that had never been tested under full underground load conditions Electrical systems combining updated technology with aging hardware had not been validated in operational settings Mechanical risks with conveyors and chutes were foreseeable given the equipment's extended storage period Centurion's contribution of 3.5 million tons represented roughly one-third of total met segment volume, making any shortfall devastating to the overall target Floor softening and moisture accumulation risks in the longwall area were known geological characteristics of the mine site The $113 per tonne cost target depended entirely on achieving volume levels that the equipment condition made uncertain The $29 Per Ton Cost Explosion

As alleged, the gap between projected and actual costs reveals the depth of the guidance failure. Management targeted $113 per tonne for met coal costs in 2026. First quarter actual costs came in at $142 per ton, a 25.7% overshoot driven primarily by depressed Centurion volumes. The met segment recorded an adjusted EBITDA loss of $7 million for Q1 2026, reduced by approximately $80 million from Centurion's ramp-up failures alone, including $10 million of additional commissioning costs that were never contemplated in original guidance.

Why Guidance Accuracy Allegedly Matters to Shareholders

Volume and cost guidance are not aspirational targets. As pleaded in the complaint, investors and analysts built financial models, set price targets, and made purchase decisions based on management's specific numerical projections. When the Company reaffirmed full-year met segment volume guidance even in its March 30 disclosure, only to cut it weeks later, the lawsuit contends this compounded the misleading nature of earlier statements.

Q: Who is eligible to join the BTU investor lawsuit? A: Investors who purchased BTU stock or securities between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026 and suffered financial losses may be eligible. Eligibility is based on purchase date and documented losses, not on whether you still hold the shares.

Q: What specific misstatements does the BTU lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges Peabody Energy, James C. Grech, Mark A. Spurbeck, and Marc E. Hathhorn made materially false or misleading statements regarding the Centurion mine ramp-up timeline, metallurgical coal segment volume guidance, and cost targets during the class period. When the true operational state was revealed, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: Nothing. Securities class actions are handled on a pure contingency basis. No upfront fees, no retainer, no out-of-pocket costs.

Q: What if I already sold my BTU shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold them. Investors who bought during the class period and sold at a loss may still participate.

Q: What if I missed the lead plaintiff deadline? A: The deadline applies only to investors seeking lead plaintiff appointment. Class members who miss it can still participate in any settlement or recovery.

Following this news, BTU fell approximately 9.7% on March 30, 2026, and an additional 5.7% on May 5, 2026, declining from $39.50 to $25.00 per share, a cumulative decline of approximately 37%.

LOS ANGELES, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP reminds investors of the upcoming August 24, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Peabody Energy Corporation (“Peabody” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BTU) common stock between October 14, 2024 to May 4, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR PEABODY INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

What Happened?
On March 30, 2026, Peabody issued a press release with lowered guidance concerning its Centurion mine’s first quarter 2026 output due to mining commissioning challenges.

On this news, Peabody’s stock price fell $3.82, or 9.7%, to close at $35.68 per share on March 30, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on May 5, 2026, Peabody disclosed that it had failed to complete its goal to fully ramp-up Centurion by March 2026 and that it was cutting guidance related to full year metallurgical segment volumes to reflect the increased cost and substantial volume decrease.

On this news, Peabody’s stock price fell $1.52, or 5.7%, to close at $25.00 per share on May 5, 2026, thereby injuring investors further.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Peabody’s overly optimistic March 2026 Centurion ramp-up date and promises regarding the Company’s inflated guidance fell short of reality when numerous issues at Centurion caused a significant delay to the mine’s ramp-up and Peabody’s first quarter metallurgical segment volumes; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Peabody common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than August 24, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 21, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) between October 14, 2024 to May 4, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 24, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Peabody Energy common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Peabody Energy class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/peabody-energy-corporation/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 24, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Peabody Energy's Centurion mine and the multitude of issues causing delays to the ramp-up and the return to full longwall production dates. On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release lowering guidance pertaining to Centurion mine's expected first quarter 2026 output ahead of Peabody Energy's full earnings release. In pertinent part, defendants announced that sales volume from the Centurion mine was expected to deliver approximately 250,000 tons in the first quarter due to mining commissioning challenges (compared to previous estimates of around 700,000 tons). When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

NEW YORK, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SueWallSt alerts investors in Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) that a class action has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased BTU securities between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026. Find out if you could qualify to recover your losses. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (888) SueWallSt.

BTU shares fell from a Class Period high of $39.50 to $25.00, a total decline of $14.50 per share (36.7%). The lead plaintiff deadline is August 24, 2026.

The Promise

Across multiple earnings calls and investor presentations from October 2024 through February 2026, the Company laid out a specific, quantified vision for its Centurion mine:

Longwall production would commence by March 2026 — later accelerated to February 2026Q1 2026 shipments would reach approximately 700,000 tonsFull year 2026 Centurion output was projected at 3.5 million tonsMet coal segment costs were guided at $113 per tonneCenturion's net present value was estimated at $2.1 billion at $225 benchmark pricingThe mine would ramp to 4.7 million tons annually by 2028 Management characterized the project as "on time and on budget" and expressed confidence that equipment was performing well and that the operational team was "making up" for any delays.

The Reality

The actual results that emerged told a fundamentally different story. The lawsuit contends that the Company knew or recklessly disregarded that its projections were unachievable:

MetricPromisedLowered Guidance/ActualGapQ1 2026 Centurion tons~700,000~250,000-64%
Full year Centurion tons3.5 million2.5 million-29%
Met segment costs$113/ton$142/ton (Q1 actual)+26%
Met segment EBITDAPositive growth-$7 million loss-$80M swingRamp-up deadlineMarch 2026Not achievedMissed The complaint details that 8-year-old repurposed mining equipment failed under full load conditions underground, triggering unanticipated electrical breakdowns, mechanical failures in conveyors and chutes, and a cascading series of roof control problems caused by moisture accumulation and floor softening beneath misaligned shields.

What the Lawsuit Alleges About the Gap

The action asserts that this was not an unforeseeable operational setback. The equipment had sat unused for eight years. The Company chose to retrofit it with updated technology rather than deploy new machinery, and surface testing failed to replicate underground conditions. The complaint charges that these risks were known or knowable to those overseeing the project, yet investors were repeatedly assured of on-time, on-budget delivery.

The met coal segment recorded an adjusted EBITDA loss of $7 million in Q1 2026, reflecting an $80 million negative impact from the Centurion ramp-up failure alone, including $10 million in additional commissioning costs.

"Companies that make specific promises to investors about future performance have an obligation to disclose known risks to those projections. The magnitude of the gap between what was promised and what was delivered raises serious questions about the adequacy of the Company's disclosures during the Class Period." — Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

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.

NEW YORK, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP provides context on the evolution of investor sentiment surrounding Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU), James C. Grech, Mark A. Spurbeck, and Marc E. Hathhorn, and the securities class action filed on behalf of purchasers between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026. Find out if you can recover your Peabody Energy investment losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

BTU shares fell from a Class Period high of $39.50 to $25.00, a decline of 36.7%, as two corrective disclosures revealed that Centurion mine's celebrated ramp-up had stalled.

The arc of investor confidence in Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) followed a trajectory that shareholders now recognize as painfully familiar: bold promises, repeated reassurances, and then a sudden reversal that erased $14.50 per share in value.

The Early Optimism

Peabody Energy cultivated extraordinary investor enthusiasm around its Centurion mine beginning in October 2024. The company described the project as a generational asset: 140 million tonnes of premium hard coking coal, a 25-year mine life, and a net present value of $2.1 billion. Shareholders were told development was running "ahead of schedule," that longwall production had been accelerated to February 2026, and that the workforce was expanding rapidly. By early February 2026, the CEO reported on an earnings call that during a recent Australia visit, the team was "installing the very last shield."

This narrative drove BTU shares upward. Investors priced in Centurion's projected 3.5 million tons of 2026 shipments, the anticipated jump in met coal realizations from 70% to 80% of benchmark, and the promise of $113-per-ton segment costs.

The Growing Concerns

The first crack appeared on March 30, 2026, when Peabody issued a terse Regulation FD disclosure cutting Centurion's first-quarter output estimate from 700,000 tons to just 250,000 tons. The company cited "greater-than-anticipated mine commissioning challenges" but offered no specifics. BTU dropped 9.7% in a single session. Analysts noted the vagueness. Jefferies flagged that the miss was more than half the original estimate. UBS, while maintaining coverage, acknowledged the need for "a slightly more conservative outlook."

Investors reportedly expressed frustration at the absence of detail. The company had spent 18 months building confidence around precise timelines and metrics, then retreated behind a single phrase: "commissioning challenges."

The Breaking Point

On May 5, 2026, the full scope of Centurion's problems surfaced. The earnings call revealed that 8-year-old repurposed equipment had failed under load, that electrical and mechanical breakdowns in conveyors and chutes had slowed the longwall to a crawl, and that moisture accumulation and floor softening had compromised roof integrity. Full-year Centurion volume was slashed from 3.5 million to 2.5 million tons. Met segment costs surged to $123-$133 per ton, far above the $113 target. The segment recorded a $7 million adjusted EBITDA loss, an $80 million swing from what Centurion was expected to contribute.

BTU fell another 5.7% to close at $25.00.

The Sentiment Shift

October 2024: Management declared Centurion "on time and on budget," stoking enthusiasm for the project's transformative potentialJuly 2025: The longwall start was accelerated to February 2026, reinforcing confidence that execution was exceeding expectationsFebruary 2026: The CEO personally confirmed final shield installation; BTU reached its $39.50 Class Period high on March 27, 2026March 30, 2026: First-quarter guidance slashed by 64% with minimal explanation, triggering a 9.7% single-day decline and investor skepticismMay 5, 2026: Full disclosure of equipment age, mechanical failures, and roof control problems erased remaining confidence and revealed the $80 million EBITDA impactThe gap between "world-class team" assurances and 8-year-old equipment sitting on shelves for years crystallized the disillusionment "Investor confidence depends on receiving truthful information from the companies they invest in. When a company builds a detailed, optimistic narrative over 18 months and then reveals in stages that fundamental equipment and geological problems existed, shareholders deserve to understand whether those risks were known earlier than disclosed." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 19, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Peabody Energy Corporation ("Peabody Energy" or the "Company") (NYSE: BTU) and reminds investors of the August 24, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Peabody Energy's Centurion mine and the multitude of issues causing delays to the ramp-up and the return to full longwall production dates. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Peabody Energy's securities at artificially inflated prices.

On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release lowering guidance pertaining to Centurion mine's expected first quarter 2026 output, announcing that sales volume from the Centurion mine was expected to deliver approximately 250,000 tons in the first quarter due to "greater-than-anticipated mine commissioning challenges" (compared to previous estimates of around 700,000 tons). On this news, Peabody Energy's stock price fell $3.82, or approximately 9.7%, to close at $35.68 per share on March 30, 2026.

On May 5, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release disclosing the Company's failure to ramp-up Centurion by the long-awaited March 2026 deadline and cutting guidance related to full year met segment volumes to reflect the increased cost and substantial volume decrease, reducing the full year sales outlook for Centurion to 2.5 million tons compared to the original expectation of 3.5 million tons. On this news, Peabody Energy's stock price fell $1.52, or 5.7%, to close at $25.00 per share on May 5, 2026.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Peabody Energy's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the Peabody Energy Securities Class Action Lawsuit:

What is the Peabody Energy securities fraud lawsuit about?

The lawsuit alleges that Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) and certain of its officers and directors made materially false and misleading statements and/or concealed material adverse facts concerning the true condition of the Company's Centurion mine, including the nature and severity of issues allegedly causing delays to its ramp-up and return to full longwall production. The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants provided investors with overwhelmingly positive statements about the Centurion mine while purportedly withholding information about the multitude of operational challenges affecting it. These allegedly false and misleading statements are said to have caused investors to purchase Peabody Energy securities at artificially inflated prices. The inflation in the stock price allegedly began to correct when Peabody Energy disclosed, on March 30, 2026, that first quarter 2026 output from the Centurion mine was expected to reach only approximately 250,000 tons — well below prior estimates of approximately 700,000 tons — due to "greater-than-anticipated mine commissioning challenges," and further when the Company disclosed on May 5, 2026 that it had failed to ramp up the mine by its March 2026 deadline and cut its full-year sales outlook for Centurion from 3.5 million tons to 2.5 million tons.

Who may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit?

Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) securities on the NASDAQ between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026, inclusive, may be eligible to participate in this lawsuit as members of the proposed class. Eligibility to participate is not limited to investors who seek appointment as lead plaintiff; any qualifying class member may share in any recovery that may ultimately be obtained. Investors who purchased Peabody Energy securities during the Class Period and suffered losses are encouraged to review their transaction records to determine whether they fall within the defined class. Participation in a class action does not require that an investor take any individual legal action or incur separate legal fees to potentially benefit from any recovery achieved on behalf of the class.

What is a lead plaintiff, and how can I seek appointment?

A lead plaintiff is a court-appointed representative who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation, including making key decisions regarding litigation strategy and the selection of lead counsel. Any class member who purchased Peabody Energy securities during the Class Period and suffered a loss may move the court for appointment as lead plaintiff, and courts typically appoint the movant with the largest financial interest in the outcome of the litigation who otherwise satisfies applicable legal requirements. The deadline to file a motion seeking appointment as lead plaintiff is August 24, 2026. Importantly, investors are not required to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in order to participate in the class and share in any recovery that may result from the litigation — class members who do not serve as lead plaintiff retain the ability to benefit from any settlement or judgment.

What should investors do if they purchased Peabody Energy stock during the Class Period?

Investors who purchased Peabody Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: BTU) securities between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026, inclusive, are encouraged to promptly review their brokerage records and account statements to confirm the dates and prices at which they acquired and, if applicable, sold their shares.

Given that the lead plaintiff motion deadline is August 24, 2026, investors wishing to be considered for appointment as lead plaintiff should act well in advance of that date. Investors may wish to consult with Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP or other qualified securities counsel to evaluate their legal rights and options before the deadline.

What is the class period? October 14, 2024 – May 4, 2026

What are the allegations?

Shareholders allege that Peabody Energy Corporation misled investors regarding production at its Centurion mine. According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants provided investors with material information concerning Peabody Energy’s expected longwall production rates at its Centurion mine for fiscal year 2026. In truth, Peabody Energy’s overly optimistic March 2026 Centurion ramp-up date and promises regarding the Company’s inflated guidance fell short of reality when numerous issues at Centurion caused a significant delay to the mine’s ramp-up.

Plaintiff alleges that on March 30, 2026, defendants filed a “Regulation FD Disclosure” with the SEC lowering guidance relating to the Centurion mine’s output for first quarter 2026 ahead of Peabody Energy’s first quarter 2026 earnings release. On this news, Peabody Energy's stock fell from a closing market price of $39.50 per share on March 27, 2026 to $35.68 per share on March 30, 2026, a decline of about 9.7% in the span of a single trading day.

Then, on May 5, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release disclosing the Company’s failure to ramp-up Centurion by the March 2026 deadline and cutting guidance related to full year met segment volumes to reflect the increased cost and substantial volume decrease. On this news, the price of Peabody Energy’s common stock declined from a closing market price of $26.52 per share on May 4, 2026, to $25.00 per share on May 5, 2025, a decline of 5.7%.

Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the class must submit their papers with the court by August 24, 2026.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) ZoomInfo’s optimistic plan for continued growth was undermined by slowing seat-based demand, weakening upsells and customers revising decisions to purchase AI products and develop internal AI-driven go-to-market solutions, making ZoomInfo’s 2026 full year revenue guidance increasingly unlikely to be met; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU)

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Peabody’s overly optimistic March 2026 Centurion ramp-up date and promises regarding the Company’s inflated guidance fell short of reality when numerous issues at Centurion caused a significant delay to the mine’s ramp-up and Peabody’s first quarter metallurgical segment volumes; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
