Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Symbotic Inc. for Alleged Securities Law Violations
On January 27, 2025, The Schall Law Firm, a renowned national shareholder rights litigation firm, announced that it had filed a class action lawsuit against Symbotic Inc. (“Symbotic” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: SYM) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The lawsuit alleges that Symbotic and certain of its executives violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
Allegations Against Symbotic
According to the complaint, investors who purchased Symbotic’s securities between February 8, 2024, and November 26, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”), may be entitled to recover their losses as they have been adversely affected by defendants’ alleged misrepresentations and omissions. The lawsuit alleges that Symbotic made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information regarding its business, operations, and financial condition.
The Alleged Misrepresentations
During the Class Period, Symbotic made several false and misleading statements regarding its financial performance and business prospects. For instance, the Company reported strong revenue growth and projected continued growth in the future. However, it failed to disclose that its growth was primarily due to one large customer, and that it was experiencing significant operational challenges, including delays in the implementation of its automated warehouse systems and difficulties in scaling its business.
The Impact on Symbotic’s Stock Price
When the truth was revealed, Symbotic’s stock price experienced a significant decline. On November 29, 2024, the Company announced that it was delaying its Q3 2024 earnings release and providing a business update. The announcement sent Symbotic’s stock price down by over 50% in one day. This decline continued in the following days, resulting in substantial losses for investors.
The Effect on Individual Investors
If you purchased Symbotic’s securities during the Class Period and continue to hold those securities, you may be able to recover your losses through the class action lawsuit. The Schall Law Firm is committed to recovering losses for individual investors and encourages investors to contact the firm before February 3, 2025, to discuss their legal rights.
The Effect on the World
The legal action against Symbotic is a reminder of the importance of transparency and accurate disclosure in the business world. Misrepresentations and omissions can have far-reaching consequences, not only for the investors who are directly affected but also for the broader economy. By holding companies accountable for their actions, the securities laws help ensure a level playing field for all investors and promote confidence in the markets.
Conclusion
The Schall Law Firm’s class action lawsuit against Symbotic is a significant development for investors who purchased the Company’s securities during the Class Period.
