Coty Investors Pressed to Seek Lead Role in Securities Case as May 22 Deadline Nears

Overview

• Investor notices published Thursday and Friday urge Coty shareholders to seek lead-plaintiff status by May 22, 2026 if they bought shares between November 5, 2025 and February 4, 2026.
• The complaints say Coty overstated its fiscal 2026 outlook while its Consumer Beauty unit lagged, marketing spend squeezed margins, and Prestige fragrance growth slowed.
• Plaintiffs point to two key moments, the December 12, 2025 exit of CEO Sue Y. Nabi and the February 5, 2026 earnings release that withdrew full‑year EBITDA and free‑cash‑flow guidance.
• Hagens Berman reports Consumer Beauty operating income fell more than 70% year over year and Prestige dropped over 18%, and Pomerantz cites a two‑day share slide of about 22% to $2.66 by February 6, 2026.
• The suits allege violations of Exchange Act Sections 10(b) and 20(a) and SEC Rule 10b‑5, and no class has been certified yet so recoveries remain unproven.
