What is this Case About: Maplebear Inc. d/b/a Instacart (CART) Allegedly Failed to Disclose the Extent of its Competition

According to the complaint, on September 19, 2023, Instacart's common stock began publicly trading on the NASDAQ. Following the IPO, a series of disclosures indicated that Instacart’s stock price was falling after “lukewarm analyst reports” indicated that the Company would struggle from heavy competition from DoorDash and Uber Technologies and “doubts that online grocery delivery adoption will continue to materially increase at a time when consumers are becoming increasingly cautious about spending.” On these reports, the price of Instacart's stock declined. At the time the complaint was filed, Instacart’s common stock was trading below the $30.00 per share Offering price, damaging investors.

Plaintiff alleges that the Offering Documents and defendants failed to disclose that: (i) Instacart had overstated the extent to which online grocery shopping and delivery habits among consumers were accelerating; (ii) Instacart had downplayed the extent of the competition that it faced in the online grocery shopping and delivery market; and (iii) accordingly, defendants overstated the Company’s post-IPO growth, business, and financial prospects.
