iRobot Corporation (NASDAQ:IRBT)

IRBT Lawsuit on behalf of: investors who purchased November 21, 2016 - October 22, 2019
Lead Plaintiff Deadline : December 23, 2019

The filed complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented the reason for iRobot's acquisitions of Tokyo-based Sales on Demand Corporation and privately-held Robopolis SAS, which was to control the Company's largest distributors so that defendants could inflate sales and revenue figures by stuffing the channel. Defendants further misled investors by repeatedly telling them throughout the Class Period that the Company was seeing continued double-digit revenue growth, and by attributing the growth to increased demand for the Roomba vacuums, when in reality defendants were engaging in channel-stuffing to artificially boost sales. Defendants also misstated that the Company's channel inventory levels had not changed and would not change dramatically from quarter to quarter or year over year, when in fact iRobot was deliberately stuffing the channel in order to claim false revenue growth.

Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB)

GRUB Lawsuit on behalf of: investors who purchased July 30, 2019 - October 28, 2019
Lead Plaintiff Deadline : January 20, 2020
TO LEARN MORE, VISIT: https://www.zlk.com/pslra-1/grubhub-inc-loss-form?prid=4698&wire=1

According to the filed complaint, during the class period, Grubhub Inc. made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) customer orders were actually declining, despite the massive investments that the Company had made to spur demand for and use of its platform; (ii) Grubhub's new customer additions were generating significantly lower revenues as compared to historic cohorts because these customers were more prone to using competitor platforms; (iii) Grubhub's vaunted business model under which it secured exclusive partnerships had failed, and Grubhub needed to engage in the same aggressive nonpartnered sales tactics embraced by its competitors to generate significant revenue growth; (iv) Grubhub was required to spend substantial additional capital in order to grow revenues and retain market share in the face of heightened competitive dynamics and market saturation, eviscerating the Company's profitability; and (v) Grubhub was tracking tens of millions of dollars below its revenue and earnings guidance and such guidance lacked any reasonable basis.

HEXO Corp. (NYSE:HEXO)

HEXO Lawsuit on behalf of: investors who purchased January 25, 2019 - November 15, 2019
Lead Plaintiff Deadline : January 27, 2020
TO LEARN MORE, VISIT: https://www.zlk.com/pslra-1/hexo-corp-loss-form?prid=4698&wire=1

According to the filed complaint, during the class period, HEXO Corp. made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) HEXO's reported inventory was misstated as the Company was failing to write down or write off obsolete product that no longer had value; (2) HEXO was engaging in channel-stuffing in order to inflate its revenue figures and meet or exceed revenue guidance provided to investors; (3) HEXO was cultivating cannabis at its facility in Niagara, Ontario that was not appropriately licensed by Health Canada; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
