Grubhub Inc. (GRUB) Securities Class Action:
The complaint alleges that Defendants misled investors about Grubhub’s business and prospects.
More specifically, according to the complaint, Defendants concealed, among other things : (1) customer orders were declining, despite massive investments the company made to spur demand for and use of its platform; (2) Grubhub’s new customer additions were generating significantly lower revenues compared to historic cohorts; (3) Grubhub’s vaunted business model under which it secured exclusive restaurant partnerships had failed, and the company resorted to using the same aggressive non-partnered sales tactics used by its competitors; (4) Grubhub was required to spend substantial additional capital in order to grow revenues and retain market share in the face of heightened competition and market saturation; and, (5) Grubhub was tracking tens of millions of dollars below its revenue and earnings guidance.
On Oct. 28, 2019, Defendants shocked investors when they announced disappointing 3Q 2019 financial results. Defendants blamed the results on a sequential fall of daily average grubs and lower value new customers. In addition, the company disclosed that its projected 2020 EBITDA was 70% below market expectations. Analysts characterized these revelations as “a shocker,” “a disaster,” “drastic,” “alarming,” “concerning,” and “troubling.”
This news drove the price of Grubhub shares down more than 40% on Oct. 29, 2019.
