LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Portnoy Law Firmadvises Peabody Energy Corporation, (“Peabody” or the "Company") (NYSE: BTU) investors of a class action on behalf of investors that bought securities between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Peabody investors have until August 24, 2026 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors are encouraged to contact attorney Lesley F. Portnoy, by phone 310-692-8883 or email: lesley@portnoylaw.com, to discuss their legal rights, or join the case via https://portnoylaw.com/peabody-energy-corporation. The Portnoy Law Firm can provide a complimentary case evaluation and discuss investors’ options for pursuing claims to recover their losses.

The_Peabody Energy_class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to Peabody Energy’s Centurion mine ramp-up and anticipated growth; and (ii) there was a multitude of issues causing delays to the Centurion mine ramp-up and the return to full longwall production dates.

On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release allegedly lowering guidance pertaining to Centurion mine’s expected first quarter 2026 output by 450,000 tons ahead of Peabody Energy’s full earnings release. On this news, the price of Peabody Energy stock fell nearly 10%, according to the complaint.

Then, on May 5, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release allegedly disclosing Peabody Energy’s failure to ramp-up Centurion by the long-awaited March 2026 deadline and that Peabody Energy was 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 stock fell nearly 6%, according to the complaint.

The Portnoy Law Firm represents investors in pursuing claims caused by corporate wrongdoing. The Firm’s founding partner has recovered over $5.5 billion for aggrieved investors. Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.
