Law Firms Urge Fortinet Investors to Seek Lead Plaintiff Role Before Nov. 21 in Securities Case

Plaintiff firms are recruiting shareholders as a lawsuit challenges Fortinet's portrayal of a "record" FortiGate upgrade cycle.

Overview

  • The pending class action targets purchases from November 8, 2024 through August 6, 2025 over alleged misstatements tied to a FortiGate refresh.
  • Filings cite claims that executives overstated the size and revenue potential of the upgrade push, including projections of about $400 million to $450 million in 2025–2026.
  • The complaint alleges the refresh relied on older, low-share products, that the company lacked a clear count of upgradeable devices, and that roughly half the upgrades were pushed through by the end of Q2 2025.
  • Glancy Prongay & Murray, The Gross Law Firm, Rosen Law Firm, and Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman have issued notices inviting investors to move for lead plaintiff by November 21, 2025.
  • No class has been certified and the claims remain unproven, with investors not represented by class counsel unless they retain one.
