1. KBR faces a class action lawsuit for alleged misleading statements. 2. The lawsuit involves a significant contract with the U.S. Department of Defense. 3. KBR's shares dropped 7% after the contract termination news. 4. Investors can seek to be lead plaintiffs in the case. 5.

Legal issues can significantly impact stock prices and market perception, especially for defense contractors. The allegations directly relate to KBR's operations and government contracts, making this news crucial for analysts and investors.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- National plaintiffs' law firm Berger Montague PC announces a class action lawsuit against KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) ("KBR" or the "Company") on behalf of investors who acquired KBR shares during the period from May 6, 2025 through June 19, 2025 (the "Class Period").
Investor Deadline: Investors who purchased KBR securities during the Class Period may, no later than November 18, 2025, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. To learn your rights, CLICK HERE.
Headquartered in Houston, Texas, KBR provides engineering, logistics, defense contracting, and mission-critical government services.
The class action lawsuit alleges that KBR made false and/or misleading statements by failing to disclose that the U.S. Department of Defense's Transportation Command ("TRANSCOM") had for months expressed material concerns about the ability of KBR's joint venture partner, HomeSafe, to perform its obligations under the Global Household Goods Contract. Despite these concerns, KBR publicly claimed that the partnership with HomeSafe was operating without issue and positioned for growth.
On June 19, 2025, HomeSafe disclosed that TRANSCOM was terminating the contract, despite HomeSafe's attempt in good faith to address delays and other challenges. On this news, KBR shares fell $3.85 per share, or 7%, to close at $48.93 on June 20.
