Within three months during the class period, Defendants twice reduced Dycom’s financial guidance.

The first time, on May 22, 2018, Dycom and management partially blamed the reduction on margin pressure resulting from “under-absorption of labor and field costs as large customer programs mobilized” and assured investors Dycom’s permitting process was “getting better.”  This news drove the price of Dycom shares down $23.56, or about 20%, to close at $92.64.

Then, on August 13, 2018, they again reduced financial guidance.  The Company and management partially blamed the reduction in part on margin pressure and, in addition, on permitting issues. 
This news drove the price of Dycom shares down $21.62, or about 24%, to close at $68.09.

“We’re focused on investors’ losses and the extent to which Defendants’ statements concerning margins and permitting were misleading,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
