MONDAY BTU INVESTOR DEADLINE: Peabody Energy Corporation Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Securities Class Action Lawsuit Before August 24, 2026 Deadline

Purchasers or acquirers of Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) common stock between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), have until Monday, August 24, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. The Peabody Energy class action lawsuit charges Peabody Energy and certain of Peabody Energy's current and former executive officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Peabody Energy engages in the production of metallurgical and thermal coal. 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 Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Peabody Energy common stock during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit.
