What is the class period? October 14, 2024 – May 4, 2026
What are the allegations? Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Peabody Energy Corporation (BTU) Misled Investors Regarding Production at its Centurion Mine
According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants provided investors with material information concerning Peabody Energy’s expected longwall production rates at its Centurion mine for fiscal year 2026. In truth, Peabody Energy’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.
Plaintiff alleges that on March 30, 2026, defendants filed a “Regulation FD Disclosure” with the SEC lowering guidance relating to the Centurion mine’s output for first quarter 2026 ahead of Peabody Energy’s first quarter 2026 earnings release. On this news, Peabody Energy’s stock fell from a closing market price of $39.50 per share on March 27, 2026 to $35.68 per share on March 30, 2026, a decline of about 9.7% in the span of a single trading day.
Then, on May 5, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release disclosing the Company’s failure to ramp-up Centurion by the March 2026 deadline and cutting guidance related to full year met segment volumes to reflect the increased cost and substantial volume decrease. On this news, the price of Peabody Energy’s common stock declined from a closing market price of $26.52 per share on May 4, 2026, to $25.00 per share on May 5, 2025, a decline of 5.7%.
