The filed complaint alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
- historical metrics integral to appraising ADT “key value drivers” and the likely and consequently materially adverse effects on ADT’s future results, share price, and prospects;
- the already occurring 75% increase in year-over-year losses;
- the other complete yet undisclosed materially negative fourth-quarter (“4Q”) and full-year (“FY”) 2017 results and trends;
- ADT’s dependence on the recently enacted Federal tax cut to meet even the extreme low end of its 2017 estimate ranges; and that
- as a result, ADT’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On January 18, 2018, ADT conducted its initial public offering (“IPO”), issuing approximately 105 million shares of ADT common stock to the investing public priced at $14.00 per share.
On March 15, 2018, ADT announced its financial and operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017. Contrary to analyst expectations, ADT reported an adjusted loss for the fourth quarter of $0.06 per share, excluding special items. Following this news, ADT's share price fell $1.28, or 12.54%, to close at $8.93 on March 15, 2018.
Since the IPO, ADT's common stock price has fallen to below $8.00 per share, representing a decline of more than 42% from the IPO price.
