Rio Tinto Ltd (LSE:RIO, ASX:RIO, OTC:RTNTF)'s Pilbara iron ore unit posted its strongest first-half production since 2018, beating consensus estimates alongside stronger shipment volumes, as the miner reiterated full-year guidance across all segments.
Second-quarter production beat expectations in both Pilbara output and shipment volumes, while the rest of Rio's major operating assets came in line with consensus.
Jefferies reiterated a Hold rating on Rio, citing relative valuation and a preference for miners with more direct copper leverage.
"While mostly an uneventful report from Rio, the quarter-over-quarter rebound in volumes at certain assets in Q2 is encouraging," Jefferies analysts wrote.
Cash generation in the first half was impacted by roughly $1.6 billion in tax and working capital outflows, the brokerage noted.
Pilbara shipment volumes rose 18% quarter-on-quarter as the company shipped excess production from the first quarter that had previously been constrained by extreme weather. Rio's SP10 classification volumes fell to 8% of sales, down from around 12% in recent quarters.
Rising diesel costs pushed first-half unit costs up about $0.8 per tonne year-on-year, though Jefferies noted full-year cash cost guidance in the Pilbara remains unchanged.
Iron Ore Company of Canada production and shipment volumes declined both sequentially and year-on-year due to lower concentrator feed and an ongoing ore dumper replacement project. Full-year guidance for the operation is subject to the impact of recent forest fires in Canada.
At Simandou, production increased quarter-on-quarter following a phased restart after a fatality in the first quarter. Ore is expected to be delivered through permanent crushing facilities in the second half.
Total copper production fell 7% both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, and was largely flat year-on-year for the first half. Refined production at Escondida rose significantly on Full Sal output, while concentrate production declined on anticipated lower ore grades.
At Kennecott, cathode production declined materially due to mine sequencing adjustments tied to maintenance plans. Oyu Tolgoi production was also lower quarter-on-quarter because of a planned shutdown, though grades came in higher than anticipated and guidance for the asset's ramp-up is unchanged.
Jefferies said unit cost guidance in copper was reduced to $0.30-$0.50 per pound from a prior range of $0.65-$0.75 per pound, reflecting higher gold prices and operational improvement initiatives.
Aluminum production was comparable to prior periods, as ramp-ups at select smelters offset the closure of the Arvida smelter. Alumina volumes were in line with expectations, while bauxite production rose 14% quarter-on-quarter following the impact of Cyclone Narelle in the first quarter.
Lithium carbonate equivalent volumes increased 15% sequentially, benefiting from reduced rainfall compared with first-quarter levels and from asset ramp-ups that remain on schedule.

The pitch is a 78% yield on a crypto-exchange proxy. The reality is that a fund charging you monthly for the privilege of capping your own upside has quietly turned a bet on Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN | COIN Price Prediction) into a slow leak. YieldMax COIN Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:CONY) shareholders got most of Coinbase’s downside and almost none of the recoveries. Then they paid tax on their own principal coming back as “income.”
What You’re Actually Paying CONY’s expense ratio is not disclosed in the April 30, 2026 NPORT filing, an unusual gap for a fund with $397 million in net assets. That is only the sticker cost. The structural cost dwarfs it.
Look at the last twelve months. CONY fell 56.25% from July 2025 to July 2026. Coinbase itself fell 59.10% over the same window. Investors who bought CONY for “income with less risk” got almost the entire drawdown and gave away the upside on every rally in exchange. On a $10,000 position held for that year, the price value collapsed to roughly $4,375. The distributions cushioned that, but a large share of those distributions was your own capital handed back to you.
The Part the Factsheet Doesn’t Highlight CONY holds Treasury Bills at 91.60% of net assets plus a set of paired long and short call options on COIN. The matching unit counts on the long and short legs (10,940, 10,055, 5,530, 4,555, 1,000) confirm a synthetic covered call. The short calls collect premium. They also cap gains at the strike. When COIN rips higher, you keep the premium and forfeit the rally.
Now look at the distribution history. In April 2024, CONY paid $2.7944 in a single distribution. By late November 2025 the payments had collapsed to $0.0635 and $0.0656. The 2026 schedule is a weekly drip in the $0.22 to $0.56 range. Trailing twelve-month distributions total $15.3524 on a share price of $19.46. A payout that size relative to price is a red flag for return of capital, which is not free money. It reduces your cost basis and defers a tax bill rather than eliminating it. Meanwhile the NAV bleeds visibly: shares opened 2026 at $27.92 and traded at $19.63 by July 10, a 27.02% year-to-date decline.
Options premium is also taxed less kindly than qualified dividends. For a taxable account, the ordinary-income treatment on the option-derived portion, combined with the ROC erosion of basis, is a two-sided tax drag the fund’s yield headline never mentions.
The Cheaper Mirror If the goal is Coinbase exposure, the cheaper mirror is Coinbase. Direct shares of COIN carry no fund fee, no capped upside, and no synthetic option overlay siphoning off rallies. Over the past year the price outcomes were close (CONY down 56.25% versus COIN down 59.10%), but on any strong up move CONY’s short calls will hand the gains back. Investors who want crypto-linked income with lower structural cost can pair a direct COIN position with their own covered calls at strikes they choose, or use a broad, lower-cost crypto equity fund and generate income from Treasuries directly. The T-bill sleeve inside CONY is something you can already own for a few basis points.
What This Means for You CONY clearly pays. The real question is what it pays with. If a big share of your monthly check is your own principal returning in a higher-tax wrapper, and the fund’s design guarantees you miss the upside that would replace that principal, ask what you are actually renting for the fee you cannot see on the factsheet.

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) between February 25, 2026 and April 13, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 28, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Lucid securities 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 Lucid class action, go to https://www.rosenlegal.com/cases/lucid-group-inc-2026/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 July 28, 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 litigate 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, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) a supplier quality issue had significantly disrupted deliveries of the Lucid Gravity; (2) the foregoing was likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on Lucid's business and financial results; (3) accordingly, the defendants had overstated the purported enhancements to Lucid's manufacturing and delivery capabilities and overall operations; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Lucid class action, go to https://www.rosenlegal.com/cases/lucid-group-inc-2026/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Lucid Group (LCID +28.79%), a luxury electric vehicle design and manufacturing company, closed at $5.95, up 28.79%. The stock moved after Lucid rejected bankruptcy and take-private rumors. Investors will be watching the company’s liquidity closely over the coming quarters. Trading volume reached 55.6M shares, coming in about 169% above its three-month average of 20.7M shares. Lucid Group IPO'd in 2020 and has fallen 94% since going public.
How the markets moved todayThe S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.38%) rose 0.36% to 7,571, and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +0.62%) gained 0.62% to 26,269. In luxury electric vehicle design, manufacturing, and technology, Tesla (TSLA 0.48%) closed at $394.46, down 0.43%, while Rivian Automotive (RIVN +1.63%) finished at $17.80, up 1.71%, offering a mixed read on EV sentiment.
What this means for investorsOne day after EV maker Lucid saw its shares briefly cut in half amid bankruptcy and take-private rumors, the company’s shares rallied 28% to finish higher than they were just two days ago. Lucid’s CEO Silvio Napolia responded to yesterday’s rumors, stating:
Lucid is not considering bankruptcy or a transaction to take the company private. Those reports are false. The Board did not explore either scenario… Lucid has sufficient liquidity to fund its operations well into next year.While the abrupt turnaround in the stock’s price might seem like the market agrees, it could also be a classic case of a “dead cat bounce,” where short-sellers covered their positions following yesterday’s dramatic decline.
Regardless of which narrative is right, Lucid still has plenty of work ahead to rein in its cash burn and avoid potential debt problems down the road.

RedStone, the modular oracle provider that already powers data feeds across more than 100 blockchain networks, has teamed up with Radiant Prime to build a Proof of Reserve dashboard. The tool provides verified, real-time portfolio and capital data for Radiant Prime’s trading operations, essentially giving users a live window into whether the funds backing the platform’s strategy are actually where they’re supposed to be.
What the dashboard actually does Radiant Prime runs a high-frequency delta-neutral basis trading strategy. In English: it’s a market-neutral approach designed to generate returns regardless of whether crypto prices go up or down, by simultaneously holding offsetting long and short positions. The strategy is focused on alpha generation, which sounds fancy but just means squeezing out profit from market inefficiencies rather than directional bets.

The Proof of Reserve system works as a continuous, automated verification mechanism. Instead of waiting for a quarterly audit from some accounting firm, the dashboard checks vault balances in real time. RedStone’s PoR system verifies that the funds backing tokens are consistently held securely in vaults.
Why this matters for DeFi transparency Community response on social media has been notably positive, with users highlighting the move’s significance for building confidence in DeFi trading strategies.
The RED token and market positioning The RED token, which underpins the RedStone ecosystem, currently has a circulating supply of approximately 447 million tokens out of a maximum supply of 1 billion. The market capitalization sits around $49 million, with the token trading at roughly $0.11.

MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has released its July 2026 Proof of Reserves (PoR) report, audited by Hacken, showing that the BTC reserve ratio rose to 281% while reserve ratios for all major assets remained above 100%. The report confirms that user assets remain fully covered by MEXC’s on-chain holdings, providing users with independently verifiable assurance of platform solvency.
According to the audit report, the BTC reserve ratio rose to 281%, up from 269% in June, covering 4,439.51 BTC in user holdings. The USDT reserve ratio is 119%, covering 1,811,076,206.47 USDT in user holdings. The USDC reserve ratio is 115%, covering 68,340,949.76 USDC in user holdings. The ETH reserve ratio is 114%, covering 62,416.70 ETH in user holdings.
Asset ownership and custody transparency remain key concerns for users of digital asset platforms, as they seek clear assurance over how their deposited funds are held, disclosed, and safeguarded. These have long been core priorities for MEXC. Through a multi-layered security framework, MEXC provides comprehensive protection for user assets and a stable, reliable trading environment. MEXC’s reserves continue to maintain overcollateralization across major assets. Its PoR system is built on Merkle Tree cryptographic verification, allowing users to independently verify that their individual balance is included in the platform’s reserves without exposing other users’ data, with each monthly audit conducted by Hacken, a leading blockchain security firm, for verified third-party assurance.
Beyond PoR, the MEXC Futures Insurance Fund absorbs losses from liquidations triggered by extreme market conditions, helping ensure user positions are not improperly liquidated. The MEXC Guardian Fund holds reserves in both USDT and BTC, providing full compensation to users in the event of platform anomalies, and is set to expand from $100 million to $500 million over the next two years. MEXC also employs a cold and hot wallet separation architecture, with the majority of assets held in cold wallets isolated from the internet and withdrawals requiring multi-party authorization to further reduce internal risk. In addition, MEXC has introduced AI-driven risk monitoring, regular security audits and a bug bounty program, alongside round-the-clock customer support — providing users with comprehensive protection from early risk detection to real-time response.

OMAHA, Neb., July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exodus Movement, Inc. (NYSE American: EXOD) (“Exodus”), the self-custodial crypto and payments platform, today announced a partnership with the Latin American streaming and live TV platforms, DGO and SKY+.
This partnership will enable DGO subscribers in Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Uruguay, as well as SKY+ customers in Brazil, to pay for their subscriptions using U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins through the Exodus Card.
As part of the partnership, eligible new customers will also receive 25% cashback in Exodus during their first month.
“For most of crypto’s history, you could manage digital dollars onchain, but you couldn’t easily spend them,” said JP Richardson, CEO and Co-founder of Exodus. “This partnership changes that by letting millions of people use the assets they already trust to pay for DGO and SKY+, on their own terms.”
DGO and SKY+ are platforms operated by Waiken ILW, the techno media holding company that also owns DIRECTV Latin America and SKY Brasil. Together, the two services offer more than 10,000 titles of series, movies, and documentaries, along with the most comprehensive live television experience, featuring sports, news, and entertainment programming.
DGO includes DSPORTS—also owned by Waiken ILW—among its offerings, bringing complete coverage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup™ to millions of viewers.
This partnership with Waiken ILW’s platforms provides households across the region with a new way to pay for their subscriptions using digital dollars held in Exodus.
The launch comes as an increasing number of Latin Americans turn to dollar-backed stablecoins to preserve value and navigate the volatility of local currencies. Between July 2024 and June 2025, stablecoins accounted for more than half of all exchange purchases made using Argentine pesos, Brazilian reais, and Colombian pesos.
“DGO and SKY+ are focused on making top-quality entertainment and major sporting events more accessible to audiences throughout Latin America,” said Federico Suárez, director of OTT platform marketing at Waiken ILW. “By incorporating stablecoin payments through Exodus, we’re offering subscribers another convenient way to pay for DGO and SKY+ and gain access to the world’s top sporting events,” the executive added.
Exodus launched Exodus Pay in April 2026, giving customers a way to send, spend, and manage digital dollars and other assets without leaving self-custody. Beginning July 1, 2026, eligible Exodus customers in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Uruguay can use the Exodus Card to pay for their DGO and SKY+ subscriptions.
Eligible new customers can claim 25% cashback by downloading the Exodus app, activating and funding their Exodus Card with digital dollars, and using the card to pay for their DGO subscription in Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Uruguay, or their SKY+ subscription in Brazil. Terms and conditions apply.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) and certain of its current and former executives (together, “co-defendants”) face a securities class action lawsuit, which seeks to represent investors who purchased or acquired Hub Group securities between April 28, 2023 and May 11, 2026.
The development follows the company’s surprise revelations that its financial reports going back to 2023 were “materially misstated and should no longer be relied upon” and corrective actions taken against two senior executives.
National shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman continues to investigate legal claims that Hub Group and its co-defendants violated the federal securities laws and urges investors who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now.
Class Period: Apr. 28, 2023 – May 11, 2026
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Aug. 28, 2026

Hub Group, Inc. (HUBG) Securities Class Action:
The lawsuit focuses on the propriety of Hub Group’s repeated assurances that its financial statements were prepared in conformity with applicable accounting rules.
Contrary to these assurances, the complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the co-defendants made false and misleading statements concerning Hub Group’s premature and incorrect revenue recognition and understatement of purchased transportation costs and accounts payable.
Investors learned the truth through a series of Hub Group’s partial disclosures about its accounting and ramifications for certain of its executives.
First, on February 6, 2026, investors saw the price of their Hub Group shares crater $9.37 (-18%) after the company (while touting that “[a]ccuracy and transparency in reporting on our performance is of utmost importance[]”) revealed that during the first nine months of 2025 it had understated purchased transportation costs and accounts receivable by $77 million. Accordingly, the company said investors should not rely on its Q1 – Q3 2025 financial statements and it plans to restate them.
Second, on May 12, Hub Group shares tumbled again – this time, shares fell $5.24 (-12.5%) – on new disclosures much worse than on February 6. The company said its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 were materially misstated and that investors should no longer rely on those either. Hub Group explained only that it “identified certain transactions that were prematurely or incorrectly recognized or not adequately supported[]” and cautioned it was continuing to review “additional accounting issues that may potentially further impact” the 2023 and 2024 financial statements.
Between February 5, 2026 (the day before Hub Group’s first partial corrective disclosure) and May 12, 2026, shareholders have seen over $890 million of Hub Group’s market capitalization wiped out.
After the Class Period, on June 2, 2026, Hub Group announced that Chief Financial Officer Kevin Beth and Chief Operating Officer Brian Meents both left the company on May 27. The company said the executive departures were part of its corrective actions related to its financial statement review.
“Now that Hub Group has almost cleaned out its C-suite following accounting improprieties reaching all the way back to 2023, the core focus of our investigation is whether they were intentional or reckless with the goal of making financial metrics appear better than they actually were. We’re also looking to see whether additional problems will surface when the company’s review is completed,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.

First Horizon Corporation remains a 'hold' at current ~$25 levels, reflecting solid credit quality but deposit mix and reserve concerns. FHN's Q2 earnings beat was driven by a low tax rate, not core operations; deposit growth relied on expensive brokered funds, pressuring margins. NIM compressed in Q2 and faces near-term headwinds, but loan repricing offers longer-term upside; loan growth is steady, with manageable CRE and NDFI exposure.
First Horizon Corporation delivered Q2 2026 results with revenue and EPS exceeding analyst expectations, yet shares declined 3%. FHN demonstrates robust asset quality, with return on assets at 1.31% and return on equity at 12.33%, both outperforming peers. Deposit and loan growth remain solid, while management strategically shifts toward commercial lending and boosts liquidity by reducing debt.

The economic monopoly of the West now hangs by a thread, and it is no longer marginal theorists who say this, but the very architects of global finance. Twenty-five years after theorizing the emergence of the economic powers of the South, Lord Jim O’Neill presents an uncompromising assessment of the G7’s inability to adapt to the new global landscape. As the international financial network fragments under the weight of sanctions and geopolitical tensions, this reassessment sounds like a major warning for the supremacy of the US dollar.
In brief The creator of the BRIC term warns that the G7 can no longer pretend to ignore a bloc whose combined GDP now surpasses theirs. The integration of new powers such as Iran or the United Arab Emirates transforms a marketing slogan into a concrete geopolitical alliance. The refusal to reform the IMF and the World Bank has driven emerging countries to build their own financial architecture. This historic monetary fragmentation pushes toward the adoption of decentralized networks and neutral reserve assets. The rise of the BRICS amid the inertia of the G7 The historical assessment made by Lord O’Neill reveals the vast gap between early 2000s projections and the current economic reality. Thus, the British economist bluntly reminds that Western nations made a major strategic mistake by underestimating the cohesion and growth potential of this emerging bloc.
Several factual data points illustrate today this shift in economic power :
Dominance of global GDP : the combined share of the BRICS in the world gross domestic product, measured by purchasing power parity (PPP), has now officially surpassed that of all G7 countries ; Strategic geopolitical expansion : the historic enlargement of the bloc, which includes major players such as Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates, is redefining trade routes and control over global energy resources ; Historical warning from the founder : Twenty-five years after inventing the concept, Lord O’Neill firmly warns that “the West cannot ignore the BRICS for another 25 years”. To explain this trajectory, it is important to emphasize that the strength of the BRICS lies in their growing appeal to other major economies of the global South. The recent enlargement of the bloc demonstrates that the alliance has surpassed the mere marketing concept stage to become a true political and commercial coalition.
By failing to take the formation of this coalition seriously from the outset, Western powers missed the opportunity to smoothly integrate these emerging economies into the existing financial order. This historical misjudgment now forces the G7 to urgently react to a dynamic it no longer controls.
The impasse of the Bretton Woods institutions and the search for alternatives Beyond merely noting GDP growth, the current deadlock stems directly from the blockage of international financial institutions by Western powers. Lord O’Neill strongly highlights that the persistent refusal of the United States and their allies to reform the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank has pushed the BRICS to build their own architecture.
Unable to obtain representation and voting rights proportional to their real economic weight within the Bretton Woods institutions, these countries have developed the New Development Bank (NDB) and multiplied bilateral agreements. The maintenance of an outdated Western governance has thus acted as the main catalyst for the creation of a parallel financial system.
This pursuit of financial autonomy accelerates under the effect of the dollar’s militarization through unilateral economic sanctions, a mechanism that drives many states to seek alternatives for settlement outside the SWIFT network. Initiatives multiply to use national currencies in cross-border trade, as exemplified by exchange systems developed between China, Russia, and India, or advanced experiments with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
By seeking to safeguard their transactions against the risk of asset freezing, the member countries of the BRICS do not necessarily aim to destroy the dollar, but to protect their economies from judicial and political decisions from Washington.
The emergence of decentralized networks as the ultimate financial shield This global monetary fragmentation creates an unprecedented testing ground for the integration of decentralized technologies and alternative neutral reserve assets. As confidence erodes in traditional fiat currencies subject to Western central banks’ policies, the need for uncensorable cross-border exchange tools becomes a strategic priority for many actors of the global South.
The increasing use of blockchain technology to secure commercial settlements illustrates this transition toward depoliticized financial architectures. These tools offer a choice alternative to nations eager to trade smoothly without depending on a single jurisdiction or partisan financial intermediaries.
The adoption of cryptographic protocols and the search for tangible guarantees such as physical gold are gradually transforming sovereign reserve management internationally. Unlike currencies backed by massive sovereign debts, decentralized assets act as immutable stores of value, immune to quantitative easing policies and asset seizures.
Thus, this dynamic reinforces the thesis that the financial infrastructure of the future will not be dictated by a single hegemon but will rely on open and distributed networks. The BRICS, by seeking to break the dollar-euro duopoly, inadvertently accelerate the global transition to this new technological paradigm.
These upheavals outline a deeply fragmented international monetary system, where the coexistence of competing financial blocs is likely to increase currency market volatility in the short term.
In the long term, the erosion of the greenback’s hegemony opens a royal path for distributed ledger technologies, perceived by a growing number of actors as indispensable sovereignty tools. The West now faces a historic choice: engage in genuine multilateral cooperation on equal footing or accept seeing control of global financial flows definitively slip away to new autonomous networks.

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.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15, 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.
Class Period: Oct. 14, 2024 – May 4, 2026

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.
If you invested in Peabody Energy and have substantial losses, or have knowledge that will assist the firm’s investigation, submit your losses now.
