Peabody Energy Corporation faces securities fraud class action lawsuit

A securities class action lawsuit has been filed against Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) on behalf of investors who acquired the company's securities between October 14, 2024, and May 4, 2026. The lawsuit alleges that Peabody Energy made materially false and misleading statements and concealed adverse facts concerning its Centurion mine, specifically regarding delays in ramp-up and return to full longwall production. This allegedly led to a significant decline in the company's stock price after revised guidance was issued on March 30, 2026.
