The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of those who acquired Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. (“Grocery Outlet” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GO) securities during the period from November 7, 2023, through May 7, 2024 (“the Class Period”). Investors have until March 31, 2025, to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

[LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION]

On May 7, 2024, after market hours, Grocery Outlet announced its financial results for Q1 2024. The Company published below-expectation guidance for the second quarter and further reduced its guidance for the full fiscal year 2024. The Company attributed its results and lowered guidance on “unforeseen systems transition costs that surfaced at the end of the quarter” and the resulting “residual expense from our commission support program as we finish store physical inventory counts in the second quarter.” On this news, the price of Grocery Outlet shares declined by $5.02 per share, or approximately 19.38%, from $25.90 per share on May 7, 2024, to close at $20.88 on May 8, 2024.

The complaint alleges that defendants, throughout the Class Period, failed to disclose the true state of Grocery Outlet’s transition to new and upgraded systems; notably, that the Company was either not truly equipped to timely and effectively execute on the transition or otherwise failed to disclose the potential for significant setbacks to Grocery Outlet’s profitability as a result of delays and implementation issues which impacted the Company’s visibility and performance.
