Metallurgical coal, also known as coking coal, is coal used primarily in steelmaking.

Investors who suffered losses in BTU may have legal rights and should be aware of the August 24, 2026 deadline to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

According to the complaint, Peabody Energy provided investors with material information concerning its expected 2026 production rates at the Centurion mine. The complaint alleges that Peabody's projections concerning the timing of Centurion's ramp-up and expected production were overly optimistic. According to plaintiff, numerous problems at Centurion caused significant delays to the mine's ramp-up, undermining the Company's previously disclosed production expectations and guidance. The lawsuit alleges that Peabody Energy failed to adequately disclose the risks and challenges affecting Centurion's ability to achieve its projected production levels.
