ForeScout Technologies, Inc. (FSCT) Accused of Misleading Shareholders

According to the complaint, in February 2019, ForeScout issued a press release that provided fiscal full year 2019 ("FY19") revenue guidance of $363.1 million to $373.1 million, representing year-over-year growth of 24%. Then, in May 2019, ForeScout raised its FY19 revenue guidance to $365.3 million to $375.3 million. When asked about "deal slippage" the Company was facing, ForeScout assured analysts that "every one of those deals is still in pipeline… [ForeScout] [has] a high degree of confidence [the deals] close for the year…they've just slipped a little bit" and ended by stating "there's still plenty of pipeline to deliver upon the guidance [ForeScout has] given you for the full year." Contrary to these assurances, on October 10, 2019, ForeScout announced disappointing third quarter 2019 financial results that lowered the quarter's revenue guidance to $90.6 million to $91.6 million from $98.8 million to $101.8 million, revealing that the Company was experiencing a material impact from the significant volatility it was facing in closing its large deals. On this news, ForeScout's stock price fell $14.63 per share, or more than 37%, to close at $24.57 per share.
