Plantronics, Inc. (PLT) Securities Class Action:
The lawsuit centers on the accuracy of Plantronics’ reported financial results and disclosures to investors.
More specifically, over the past several quarters, Plantronics has announced “solid bottom-line” results. In contrast, according to the complaint, Defendants misled investors by failing to disclose (1) Plantronics engaged in channel stuffing to artificially boost sales, (2) the company’s internal controls over inventory levels were not effective, and (3) the company did not adequately monitor inventory levels ahead of multiple product launches, where new models would displace demand for aging products.
On Nov. 4, 2019, Plantronics announced the abrupt departure of its Executive Vice President, Global Sales.
Then, after the market closed on Nov. 5, 2019, Plantronics announced disappointing Q2 2020 financial results and slashed earnings guidance about 40%. The company announced that it would reduce channel inventory by approximately $65 million and that this action will have a material impact on third quarter and full year results.
In response, the price of Plantronics shares plummeted about 37% on Nov. 6, 2019.
“We’re focused on recovering investors’ losses and whether the company accurately depicted its financial results and business prospects,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
