NEW YORK, Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. reminds investors that the Firm is investigating potential claims against certain officers and directors of Tableau Software, Inc. (“Tableau” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DATA).

In July 2017, investors in Tableau Software brought a class action against the Company in federal court alleging that between February 5, 2016 and February 4, 2018, the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) product launches and upgrades by major software competitors were negatively impacting Tableau’s competitive position and profitability; and (2) as a result of the foregoing, Tableau’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On August 7, 2015, Tableau filed a quarterly report on Form 10-Q reaffirming financial results issued in a July 29, 2015 press release.  Then on February 4, 2016, Tableau disclosed slowing revenue.  In a related earnings call, the Company’s CEO stated: the competitive dynamic has become more crowded and difficult.  On this news, shares of Tableau stock fell $44.53 per share over two trading sessions, closing at $37.22 per share on February 8, 2016. 

On July 2, 2018, U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl denied defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiff's second amended complaint be closed, paving the way for litigation to proceed.
