Peabody Energy Comm shares came under pressure after the company warned that its Centurion Mine will ship only about 250,000 tons in Q1 because of tougher-than-expected commissioning issues. Investors focused on the slower ramp-up, even though Peabody kept its full-year metallurgical coal guidance unchanged at 10.3–11.3 million tons.
In response to the delays, analysts trimmed their price targets modestly while maintaining existing ratings on the stock. They cited the slower production ramp as a near-term headwind but signaled that the long-term outlook has not fundamentally changed.
