The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers of Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE: LSPD) securities between September 11, 2020 and September 28, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”) have until January 18, 2022 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in Nath v. Lightspeed Commerce Inc., No. 21-cv-06365 (E.D.N.Y.). Commenced on November 16, 2021, the Lightspeed Commerce class action lawsuit charges Lightspeed Commerce and certain of its top executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Blasy of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at mblasy@rgrdlaw.com. Lead plaintiff motions for the Lightspeed Commerce class action lawsuit must be filed with the court no later than January 18, 2022.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Lightspeed Commerce provides commerce enabling software as a service platform for small and midsize businesses, retailers, restaurants, and golf course operators in Canada, the United States, Germany, Australia, and internationally.

The Lightspeed Commerce class action lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) Lightspeed Commerce had misrepresented the strength of its business by, among other things, overstating its customer count, gross transaction volume, and increase in Average Revenue Per User, while concealing Lightning Commerce’s declining organic growth and business deterioration; (ii) Lightspeed Commerce had overstated the benefits and value of Lightspeed Commerce’s various acquisitions; (iii) accordingly, Lightspeed Commerce had overstated its financial position and prospects; and (iv) as a result, Lightspeed Commerce’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On September 29, 2021, Spruce Point Capital Management published a report regarding Lightspeed Commerce and also issued a press release summarizing its findings. The release stated, among other things, that “[e]vidence shows that Lightspeed massively inflated its business pre-IPO, overstating its customer count by 85% and gross transaction volume (‘GTV’) by 10%” – a payment volume metric that a former employee described as “‘smoke and mirrors’”; that there was “[e]vidence of declining organic growth and business deterioration through Lightspeed’s IPO, despite management’s claims that Average Revenue Per User (‘ARPU) is increasing; and that Lightspeed Commerce’s [r]ecent acquisition spree has come at escalating costs with no clear path to profitability, while management pursues aggressive revenue reporting practices.” On this news, Lightspeed Commerce’s stock price fell by more than 12%, damaging investors.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Lightspeed Commerce securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Lightspeed Commerce class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Lightspeed Commerce class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Lightspeed Commerce class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery of the Lightspeed Commerce class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
