Did you lose money in VFC? Robbins LLP Reminds Stockholders of the Class Action Lawsuit Against V.F. Corporation

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired V.F. Corporation (NYSE: VFC) securities between October 30, 2023 and May 20 2025.

The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that V.F. Corporation (VFC) Misled Investors About its Business Prospects

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants misled investors regarding the Company's plans to rebuild the Vans brand, including reportedly positive results from a significant inventory reset in early 2024, the appointment of a new Vans president, and a myriad of new product launches and go-to-market strategies, by highlighting sequential revenue growth in the Vans brand. Plaintiff alleges, however, that defendants concealed material adverse facts concerning the true state of VFC’s turnaround plans; notably, that additional significant reset actions would be necessary to return the Vans brand to growth, resulting in significant setbacks to Vans’ revenue growth trajectory that were neither contemplated nor cautioned by defendants.

On May 21, 2025, VFC reported a significant decline in Vans' growth trajectory, which fell from an 8% loss in the third quarter to a 20% loss in the fourth quarter, noting the decline would continue through the next quarter. On this news, the price of VFC's common stock fell from $14.43 per share on May 20, 2025, to $12.15 per share on May 21, 2025, or approximately 15.8%.
