Event Summary

Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of Peabody Energy Corporation common stock between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026 of the August 24, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in a securities class action lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that Peabody Energy and certain defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or concealed material adverse facts concerning the true state of the Centurion Minerals, including issues causing delays to the ramp-up and return to full longwall production. On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy lowered its guidance for the Centurion Minerals's first quarter 2026 output to approximately 250,000 tons due to mining commissioning challenges, compared to previous estimates of around 700,000 tons. The lawsuit claims investors suffered damages when the true details entered the market. The class action has already been filed, and investors who wish to serve as lead plaintiff must move the court by August 24, 2026.
