Kaskela Law LLC is investigating Sprout Social, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPT) on behalf of the company’s long-term shareholders.
Recently a securities fraud complaint was filed against Sprout Social on behalf of certain investors who purchased shares of the company’s stock between September 22, 2021 and May 2, 2024. According to the complaint, during that time period, Sprout Social and several of the company’s executive officers falsely assured investors that Sprout Social’s “upmarket” transition was on track and entirely successful, repeatedly touting that the company’s social media management platform provided all the features and capabilities needed to serve large, complex corporate customers.
However, and as further detailed in the complaint, on May 2, 2024, the defendants made a series of stunning disclosures that completely contradicted what they had been telling investors for years. Moreover, defendants “made crystal clear” that Sprout Social’s poor performance and outlook were in no way, shape or form the product of external factors. To the contrary, defendants explicitly admitted that the company’s debacle was entirely “self-induced,” with Sprout Social’s newly appointed CEO tellingly acknowledging: “I own this.” Following these disclosures, shares of Sprout Social’s stock fell $19.33 per share, or 40% in value, to close at $28.82 per share on May 3, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.
The investigation seeks to determine whether the members of Sprout Social’s board of directors violated the securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the above alleged misconduct.
Sprout Social shareholders who purchased or acquired their shares prior to January 1, 2023 are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC (D.
