According to the filed complaint, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:

• the Company was experiencing weak demand for its softgel and oil products;
   
• as a result, the Company would be forced to take a CA$32.7 million restructuring
  charge due to poor sales, excessive returns, and excess inventory; and
   
• due to the foregoing, defendants’ statements about Canopy’s receivables, business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On November 14, 2019, Canopy announced another disappointing 2Q 2020 earnings, blaming the poor results on inventory write-offs and restructuring charges for product returns, return provisions and pricing allowances.  Canopy’s CEO Mark Zekulin said he would be stepping down once a replacement was found.

This news sent the price of Canopy Growth shares down over 14% on November 14, 2019, closing at $15.84.
