The complaint alleges that Spectrum misrepresented and failed to disclose that: (i) Spectrum had been self-inflicting the operational issues at its Ohio and Kansas facilities; (ii) these operational issues were, in fact, recurring in nature; (iii) these operational issues would continuously impact production, shipping levels and sales; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On April 26, 2018, Spectrum issued a press release announcing its financial and operating results for the second fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2018, reporting a net income of $0.8 million compared to net income of $39.9 million in the previous year’s comparable quarter. The same day, Spectrum announced that its CEO was stepping down, effective immediately. Following this news, shares of Spectrum fell from a close of $94.23 per share on April 24, 2018, to a close of $75.01 per share the following day.

If you suffered a loss in connection with a purchase of Spectrum securities during the Class Period, you have until May 6, 2019 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. You need not seek to serve as a lead plaintiff to share in any recovery.
