Peabody Energy Corporation faces a securities class action lawsuit filed by Hagens Berman on behalf of investors who purchased Peabody common stock between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026. The lawsuit alleges that Peabody and its management made misleading statements about the operational status and production capabilities of its Centurion Minerals in Australia — Queensland, Australia. On February 5, 2026, Peabody assured investors that Centurion would ramp up to 700,000 tons in Q1, but on March 30, 2026, it disclosed a 64% production cut to 250,000 tons, and on May 5, 2026, revealed mechanical and electrical issues that reduced the full-year sales outlook from 3.5 million to 2.5 million tons. Peabody's stock price fell 36% between March 27 and May 5, 2026. The lead plaintiff deadline is August 24, 2026.
