Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (BBBY) Accused of Misleading Shareholders

According to the complaint, on October 2, 2019, Bed Bath & Beyond touted its updated fiscal 2019 full year financial outlook stating that "net sales are estimated to be around $11.4 billion and net earnings per diluted share are estimated to be between $2.08 and $2.13." Later that day, Bed Bath & Beyond stated that the Company "[has] plans to aggressively reduce up to $1 billion of inventory at retail over the next 18 months."

Then, on February 11, 2020, the Company announced its preliminary fourth quarter 2019 financial results, revealing a "5.4% decline in comparable sales driven by store traffic declines and inventory management issues" as well as "inventory within certain key categories… [being] too low or out-of-stock during the [holiday] period." On this news, Bed Bath & Beyond's stock price fell over 20% to close at $11.79 per share. The stock continues to decline.
