NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Fairway Group Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: FWM).
On February 6, 2014, Fairway announced its results for the fourth quarter of 2014, disclosing that it had a net loss of 74 cents per share, a bigger loss than the 70-cent per share loss analysts expected, and revenue of only $205.7 million, which was $2 million less than what analysts expected. Additionally, Fairway’s same-store sales declined by 1.7% due, in part, to a compressed holiday shopping period and the beneficial impact of Sandy in the year earlier due to a pre- and post-storm stock-up. Fairway also announced that its Chief Executive Officer Herbert Ruetsch would retire after 15 years with the company, including the last 2 years as CEO. William Sanford, President of Fairway, will assume the role of Interim-CEO.
On this news, Fairway was downgraded by multiple analysts, and the price of its shares plummeted by 29%—from $11.43 on February 6 to $8.12 on February 7, 2014.
KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Fairway and/or its officers and directors violated state or federal securities laws.
