Law Firms Seek Coty Investors for Securities Class Action Over Growth Claims
Applicants face a May 22 deadline to seek the lead-plaintiff role.
Overview
- Shareholder-rights firms issued notices inviting Coty investors to join lawsuits covering trades from November 5, 2025 through February 4, 2026.
- The complaints say Coty promoted strong fiscal 2026 prospects while Consumer Beauty slowed and higher marketing costs squeezed margins.
- Hagens Berman says the case follows a February 5, 2026 earnings report that showed a sharp profit drop and withdrawn 2026 guidance, which sent shares down more than 8%.
- The firm also notes Coty announced the sudden departure of CEO Sue Y. Nabi on December 12, 2025.
- The putative class is not certified, so investors are unrepresented unless they contact counsel and apply by May 22 to be considered for the lead-plaintiff role.
