What Happened?
On August 29, 2024, after market hours, Elastic released its first quarter fiscal 2025 financial results and revised its annual revenue guidance to be between $1.436 billion and $1.444 billion, compared to a previous range of $1.468 billion and $1.48 billion and consensus estimates of $1.48 billion. The Company explained that the revision was due to “a slower start to the year with the volume of customer commitments impacted by segmentation changes that [the Company] made at the beginning of the year, which are taking longer than expected to settle.”
On this news, Elastic’s stock price fell $27.45, or 26.5%, to close at $76.19 per share on August 30, 2024, thereby injuring investors.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Elastic had implemented significant changes to its sales operations, particularly with respect to its customer segments in the Americas; (2) the foregoing changes were likely to, and did, disrupt Elastic’s sales operations during the first quarter of its FY 2025; (3) accordingly, Defendants had overstated the stability of Elastic’s sales operations; (4) as a result of all the foregoing, Elastic was unlikely to meet its own previously issued revenue guidance for its FY 2025; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
