The lawsuit claims that Peabody Energy provided misleading statements to the market regarding the status of the Centurion mine, specifically obscuring the challenges hindering the facility's ramp-up and longwall production schedules. These omissions allegedly persisted until March 30, 2026, when the company slashed its first-quarter output guidance from 700,000 tons to approximately 250,000 tons, citing commissioning issues.
