What's Happening?
Pomerantz LLP has initiated a class action lawsuit against Vestis Corporation, alleging securities fraud and other unlawful business practices by the company and certain officers. The lawsuit follows Vestis's announcement on May 7, 2025, of its second-quarter financial results, which included a withdrawal of its full-year revenue and growth guidance. The company cited 'lost business in excess of new business' and an 'increasingly uncertain macro environment' as reasons for its disappointing performance. This announcement led to a significant drop in Vestis's stock price, which fell by 37.54% to $5.44 per share. Investors who purchased Vestis securities during the class period have until August 8, 2025, to request to be appointed as Lead Plaintiff in the case.
