Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. has filed a class action lawsuit against Peabody Energy Corporation on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired Peabody Energy common stock between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026. The complaint alleges that the company made materially false and misleading statements while concealing adverse facts about delays and commissioning challenges at its Centurion mine. On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy lowered first-quarter output guidance for the Centurion mine to approximately 250,000 tons, down from a previous estimate of around 700,000 tons, causing its stock to drop 9.7% from $39.50 to $35.68 in a single trading day. Then on May 5, 2026, the company disclosed a failure to meet the March 2026 ramp-up deadline and cut full-year met segment volume guidance, leading to a further 5.7% decline from $26.52 to $25.00 per share. Investors have until August 24, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
