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

Overview

• Multiple shareholder firms on Monday urged Coty investors to apply for lead plaintiff status before the May 22 deadline.
• The lawsuits claim Coty overstated growth prospects while Consumer Beauty slowed and heavy marketing spend squeezed margins.
• Hagens Berman highlighted Q2 2026 results that showed Consumer Beauty operating income down over 70% and Prestige down over 18%.
• Coty pulled its full‑year EBITDA and free cash flow outlook on February 5, 2026, and the stock fell more than 8% that day.
• The class period spans November 5, 2025 through February 4, 2026, no class is yet certified, and firms are soliciting investors who say they lost money.
