CASE ALLEGATIONS: Five Below operates as a specialty value retailer in the United States.

The Five Below class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period provided investors with materially false and misleading information concerning Five Below’s anticipated growth and net sales.

The Five Below class action lawsuit further alleges that on June 5, 2024, Five Below announced disappointing first quarter 2024 sales results and cut its full year 2024 guidance stating, “[n]et sales are expected to be in the range of $3.79 billion to $3.87 billion based on opening approximately 230 new stores and assumes an approximate 3% to 5% decrease in comparable sales. Net income is expected to be in the range of $275 million to $297 million.” On this news, the price of Five Below stock fell nearly 11%, according to the complaint.

Then, on July 16, 2024, Five Below announced that “Joel Anderson has stepped down from his roles of President and CEO, and from the Board of Directors, to pursue other interests,” “[c]omparable sales decreased 5.0% versus the restated and comparable period ended July 15, 2023,” and that “[a]s a result, [Five Below] now expects sales for the fiscal second quarter ending August 3, 2024 to be in the range of $820 million to $826 million and assumes an approximate 6% to 7% decrease in comparable sales,” according to the complaint. On this news, the price of Five Below stock fell more than 25%, according to the Five Below class action lawsuit.
