Pomerantz says it filed class action over Peabody Energy guidance cuts
The law firm said the case concerns whether Peabody and certain officers or directors engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
Pomerantz LLP said it filed a securities class action against Peabody Energy Corporation, accusing the company and certain officers or directors of possible securities fraud or other unlawful business practices tied to guidance cuts and production issues at its Centurion mine.
The firm said investors who bought or otherwise acquired Peabody securities during the class period may seek to be appointed lead plaintiff by Aug. 24, 2026. The release does not specify the class period in the extracted text.
According to the attorney-advertising release, Peabody first lowered guidance on March 30, 2026, saying first-quarter sales volume at Centurion was expected to be about 250,000 tons, down from a prior estimate of about 700,000 tons. Peabody said the shortfall reflected mining commissioning challenges. The release says the company’s stock fell $3.82, or 9.67%, to $35.68 after that disclosure.
The release says Peabody later disclosed on May 5, 2026, that it had failed to ramp up output at Centurion by the March deadline and cut guidance again. It says the stock then fell $1.52, or 5.73%, to $25.00.
Pomerantz said investors with losses can contact Danielle Peyton by email or phone for more information, and said the complaint can be obtained on the firm’s website. The release also says Pomerantz has offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Tel Aviv and has more than 85 years of history.
What happens next is the Aug. 24 lead plaintiff deadline listed in the release. The court would decide whether to appoint a lead plaintiff from among investors who meet the filing criteria.
