INVESTOR ALERT: Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Vestis Corporation (VSTS) Investors
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Vestis Corporation (“Vestis” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VSTS) common stock between October 2, 2023 and May 1, 2024,inclusive (the “Class Period”). Vestis investors have until July 16, 2024 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their Vestis investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On May 2, 2024, Vestis released its second quarter FY2024 financial results, falling below expectations and revising its 2024 outlook, reporting that it “now expect[ed] to deliver fiscal 2024 revenue growth in the range of [negative] (1)% to 0%.” The Company blamed “challenges . . . related to sales productivity and deliberate moderated pricing actions” for the disappointing results.
On this news, Vestis’s stock price fell $8.31, or 45%, to close at $10.16 per share on May 2, 2024, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) Aramark had historically underinvested in the business that became Vestis; (2) Vestis operated with outdated facilities and an underperforming sales force; (3) Vestis’s outdated facilities and underperforming sales force led to “service gaps” that had impeded the Company’s levers of growth and had resulted in customer attrition; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
If you purchased Vestis common stock, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020, by telephone at (215) 638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com, or visit our website at www.howardsmithlaw.com.
This press release may be considered Attorney Advertising in some jurisdictions under the applicable law and ethical rules.
