Background

On March 30, 2026, Peabody issued a press release 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. 

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.
