What's Happening?
V.F. Corporation is facing a class action lawsuit filed by The Gross Law Firm, alleging that the company made materially false and misleading statements regarding its turnaround plans, particularly affecting the Vans brand. The lawsuit claims that V.F. Corporation concealed adverse facts about the necessity of additional reset actions to return Vans to growth, leading to significant setbacks in revenue growth. The company's stock price experienced a dramatic decline of approximately 15.8% on May 21, 2025, following the release of fiscal 2025 results, which revealed a substantial drop in Vans' growth trajectory. Shareholders who purchased shares during the class period from October 30, 2023, to May 20, 2025, are encouraged to contact the firm for potential lead plaintiff appointment.
