Amir SohailNEW YORK, July 26, 2026 (ZM NEWSWIRE) — Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, a nationally recognized investor-rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Peabody Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: BTU) and certain of its officers.
This lawsuit seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Peabody Energy securities between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: bgandg.com/BTU.
Peabody Energy Case Details
The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose:
(1) The true state of Centurion mine’s commissioning challenges, including unanticipated electrical and mechanical problems, roof control deterioration, and floor softening that made the March 2026 longwall production deadline unachievable.
(2) That Defendants’ repeated assurances that Centurion was “on time and on budget” and “ahead of schedule” were materially false and misleading.
(3) That the mine’s production shortfalls would materially impact Peabody’s full-year 2026 financial results, including an $80 million EBITDA impact in the first quarter alone.
On March 30, 2026 and May 5, 2026, Peabody disclosed the true scope of Centurion’s problems, slashing its full-year sales outlook from 3.5 million to 2.5 million tons and increasing cost guidance to $123–$133 per ton.
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%.
