BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming October 7, 2024 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased XPEL, Inc. (“XPEL” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XPEL) securities between November 8, 2023 and May 2, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
Investors suffering losses on their XPEL investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at (215) 638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On May 2, 2024, XPEL released its first quarter 2024 financial results, reporting only 5% revenue growth year-over-year, disclosing that the Company had been losing customers in the aftermarket channel.
On this news, XPEL’s stock price fell $20.93, or 38.9%, to close at $32.86 per share on May 2, 2024, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) XPEL’s competitors were siphoning an increasingly large segment of the market; (2) as a result, the Company’s revenue growth became increasingly dependent upon existing customers and partners; (3) as a result, the Company’s revenue growth for 2023 and 2024 dwindled; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired XPEL securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than October 7, 2024 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action. If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.
