New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2026) - Levi & Korsinsky notifies investors that it has commenced an investigation into Peabody Energy Corporation ("Peabody Energy Corporation") (NYSE: BTU) concerning potential violations of the federal securities laws.

During the Q4 2025 earnings call on February 5, 2026, CFO Mark A. Spurbeck told investors that full-year 2025 results "met or exceeded original guidance for seven of eight volume and cost metrics." CEO James C. Grech described the company as sitting "at the intersection of multiple policy and market trendsmoving in a highly favorable direction" -- a statement made shortly before the Q1 2026 earnings release disclosed a net loss of $32.4 million, a decline in adjusted EBITDA, and surging diesel costs that had not been adequately disclosed to investors.

The gap between the guidance narrative and actual results was stark. Management projected costs "consistent with 2025 levels" while diesel expenses climbed materially. The Centurion mine -- described by the CEO as "well ahead of its original schedule" in February -- was disclosed as delayed, removing expected production volume from the 2026 outlook.
