FAQ

Why Bearish?

The lawsuit and disappointing Q1 guidance mirror past legal issues that triggered sharp declines. Historical cases, like major securities litigation, have led to similar rapid market sell-offs.

How important is it?

The direct legal allegations and subsequent stock decline significantly affect investor confidence and trading sentiment. Such high-profile lawsuits have historically had a material impact on stock prices.

Why Short Term?

Immediate investor reaction is evident, as seen by the 20% drop. Quick market volatility is expected until legal outcomes and revised forecasts are clearer.

The Atkore class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the class period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Atkore engaged in an anticompetitive price-fixing scheme that artificially inflated the price of PVC pipes; (ii) Atkore reaped significant, unsustainable financial benefits from its anticompetitive conduct; (iii) as Atkore's price-fixing scheme was exposed, Atkore and its price-fixing co-conspirators were no longer able to artificially inflate the price of PVC pipes, resulting in a substantial decrease in the price of PVC pipes; and (iv) Atkore's business and operations were negatively impacted. The Atkore class action lawsuit further alleges that on February 4, 2025, Atkore announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, reporting net sales of $661.6 million, down 17% year-over-year and below analysts' estimates of $680.7 million, and provided guidance for the rest of fiscal year 2025, including adjusted EPS of $5.75 to $6.85 and adjusted EBITDA of $375 million to $425 million – representing a significant reduction from its previously issued guidance of $7.80 to $8.90 and $475 million to $525 million, respectively.  On this news, the price of Atkore common stock fell nearly 20%, according to the complaint.
