What's Happening?
Pomerantz LLP has announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against Charter Communications, Inc., alleging securities fraud and other unlawful business practices by the company and certain officers. The lawsuit follows Charter's recent financial disclosures, which revealed a misleading portrayal of growth due to a one-time revenue benefit. The company's reported EBITDA growth was attributed to a $45 million one-time benefit, masking a decline in actual performance. Additionally, Charter reported a significant decrease in Internet customers, with a loss of 117,000 in the second quarter of 2025, nearly double the previous quarter's loss. This news led to a substantial drop in Charter's stock price, falling by 18.4% to close at $309.75 per share. Investors who purchased Charter securities during the class period have until October 13, 2025, to seek appointment as Lead Plaintiff in the lawsuit.
