On November 14, 2019, before the market opened, the Company issued a press release announcing their earnings for the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, posting a larger-than-expected loss for the quarter. The Company announced it would be modifying its retail pricing architecture and taking a CA$32.7 million restructuring charge.
On this news, shares of Canopy fell $2.36 per share or nearly 14.4% to close at $15.84 per share on November 14, 2019, damaging investors.
The complaint, filed on November 21, 2019, alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company was experiencing weak demand for its softgel and oil products; (2) as a result, the Company would be forced to take a CA$32.7 million restructuring charge due to poor sales, excessive returns, and excess inventory; and (3) due to the foregoing, defendants’ statements about Canopy’s receivables, business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
