Background of the Investigation
According to the securities class action complaint, Starbucks and certain senior executives are alleged to have made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts regarding, among other things:
- The reliability of Starbucks' projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth;
- The effectiveness of the Company's "Reinvention" platform in driving global business performance;
- The extent to which seasonality, macroeconomic uncertainty, and competitive pressures-particularly in China-posed risks to Starbucks' business;
- The likelihood that Starbucks would need to revise its fiscal 2024 guidance.
On April 30, 2024, after market close, Starbucks issued a press release announcing disappointing second-quarter fiscal 2024 results and lowered its full-year guidance. On this news, Starbucks' stock price fell from $88.49 per share on April 30, 2024, to $74.44 per share on May 1, 2024, representing a decline of more than 15% in a single trading day, allegedly injuring investors.
Johnson Fistel's investigation is focused on whether Starbucks' board of directors and senior management caused or allowed this alleged misconduct, failed to implement adequate disclosure and risk-management controls, and exposed the Company to significant financial and reputational harm.
