Overview

  • The lawsuit alleges Petco and its executives overstated the sustainability of pandemic-driven demand and the strength of its premium-focused strategy, misleading investors about the company’s growth prospects.
  • Petco’s June 5 release showed first-quarter net sales of $1.5 billion, a 2.3 percent year-over-year decline that led to a roughly 23 percent drop in its share price on June 6.
  • No class has been certified and investors who wish to steer the litigation must file motions to serve as lead plaintiff by August 29.
  • Faruqi & Faruqi is targeting investors with losses exceeding $75,000 while Rosen Law Firm is offering contingency fee representation for class members.
  • Both firms’ notices outline case allegations and potential recoveries, but any compensation will depend on court appointments and the ultimately proven merits of the lawsuit.
