Investors who purchased or acquired CROCS securities during the Class Period may, no later than MARCH 24, 2025, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class.
According to the lawsuit, Crocs misled investors by concealing the fact that the strong revenue growth exhibited by HEYDUDE following its acquisition in February 2022 was largely driven by a conscious decision on the part of Crocs management to aggressively stock its third-party wholesaler pipeline with HEYDUDE products, regardless of the level of retail demand being experienced by those wholesalers.
On October 29, 2024, in reporting its financial results for the third quarter of 2024, Crocs disclosed that HEYDUDE revenues fell below the Company’s expectations and that “it will take longer than we had initially planned for the business to turn the corner.” Significantly, Crocs’ CEO attributed HEYDUDE’s struggles to “excess inventories in the market,” admitting that “in retrospect, we absolutely shipped too much product[].” The CEO further acknowledged that a lack of product demand exacerbated the issue.
On this news, the price of Crocs shares declined by $26.47 per share, or 19%, from a close of $138.05 per share on October 28, 2024 to a close of $111.58 per share on October 29, 2024.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
