Kuznicki Law PLLC notifies investors that a class action has commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of shareholders of Celsius Holdings, Inc. who purchased shares between February 29, 2024 and September 4, 2024.
Celsius Holdings and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
The alleged false and misleading statements and omissions include, but are not limited to, that: (1) the Company materially oversold inventory to PepsiCo, Inc. (“Pepsi”) far in excess of demand, and faced a looming sales cliff during which Pepsi would significantly reduce its purchases of Celsius products; (2) as Pepsi drew down significant amounts of inventory overstock, Celsius’ sales would materially decline in future periods, hurting Celsius’ financial performance and outlook; (3) the Company’s sales rate to Pepsi was unsustainable and created a misleading impression of its financial performance and outlook; (4) as a result, the Company’s business metrics and financial prospects were not as strong as indicated in defendants’ Class Period statements; and (5) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the respective securities during the class periods. Members of the class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. No class has yet been certified in the above action. Appointment as Lead Plaintiff is not required to partake in any recovery.
Shareholders have until January 21, 2025 to request that the court appoint them lead plaintiff.
