Verb Technology Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERB)
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: September 9, 2019
Class Period: January 3, 2018 to May 2, 2018
The complaint, filed on July 9, 2019, alleges that during the Class Period Verb stock increased from approximately $0.12 per share on January 3, 2018 to $2.70 per share on April 19, 2018, an astonishing increase of over 2000%.
Following the rapid rise of the Company’s stock price, on April 23, 2018, the truth as to the Company’s relationship with Oracle began to emerge. The Company revealed the actual terms of the Oracle Agreement through the filing of a Form 8-K. The terms of the agreement revealed that the prior representations as to the scope of the relationship with Oracle were materially misleading.
As the market digested the true nature of the Oracle Agreement, the stock began a precipitous decline, closing on April 30, 2018 at $1.54 per share, a decrease of 43% from the high a week prior. The market continued to digest this information and by the market close on May 2, 2018, the Company’s stock was trading at $1.08 per share, a decrease of 64% from the high price of $3.04 per share on April 20th.
