Investors in Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. alerted of Class Action for Securities Fraud
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. for securities fraud. The lawsuit alleges that the company made false and misleading statements about its business, operations, and prospects, which artificially inflated its stock price. Investors who purchased Grocery Outlet stock between June 19, 2019, and March 6, 2020, may be eligible to join the class action.
The lawsuit, filed by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, claims that Grocery Outlet failed to disclose that its founders and co-CEOs were planning to retire from their positions. The company allegedly misled investors by emphasizing the founders’ continued involvement in the company when, in reality, they were planning to step down. This information was allegedly material to investors because the founders played a critical role in Grocery Outlet’s success and growth.
According to the lawsuit, Grocery Outlet also failed to disclose that it was experiencing a slowdown in new store growth. The company’s store openings were not performing as well as expected, which could have a negative impact on its future financial performance. By not disclosing this information, Grocery Outlet allegedly misled investors about its growth prospects and financial health.
The lawsuit alleges that Grocery Outlet’s failure to disclose these material facts violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, investors who purchased the company’s stock during the class period may have suffered financial losses. The class action seeks to recover damages on behalf of those investors who were harmed by Grocery Outlet’s alleged securities fraud.
