Important Information for Investors: Innovative Industrial Properties Class Action Lawsuit
On January 22, 2025, the law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announced that purchasers or acquirers of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (IIPR) securities between February 27, 2024, and December 19, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”), have until March 18, 2025, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in a securities class action lawsuit captioned Giraudon v. Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. This follows allegations that the company and certain of its executives made false and misleading statements regarding the company’s business, operations, and financial results.
Background
Innovative Industrial Properties is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that focuses on the acquisition, ownership, and management of specialized industrial properties, primarily for the medical-use cannabis industry. The company went public through a business combination transaction with Innovative Properties Acquisitions Corp. in October 2016.
Allegations and Impact on Investors
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company’s business, operations, and financial results. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants failed to disclose: (i) the company’s slowing growth, (ii) the impact of increased competition on the company’s business, (iii) the company’s overvaluation of its properties, and (iv) the company’s poor underwriting and due diligence practices.
As a result of these alleged false and misleading statements, IIPR securities traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, causing investors harm. The price of IIPR common stock reached a high of $287.12 per share on April 15, 2024.
Current Status and Implications
Following the filing of the complaint, the price of IIPR common stock declined significantly, and as of February 1, 2025, was trading at around $160 per share. It is important for investors who purchased or acquired IIPR securities during the Class Period to monitor the situation closely and consider their legal options.
