According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Peabody failed to follow appropriate safety controls at its North Goonyella mine, placing it at a heightened risk of being shut down. The Company followed a low-cost plan to restart operations that did not address safety and environmental concerns. The Queensland Mines Inspectorate (“QMI”) was likely to mandate a safer, more costly approach. The Company suffered further delays reopening the mine based on this difference. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Peabody, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
