Deadline Reminder: Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Lantronix, Inc. (LTRX)

BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming April 23, 2024 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Lantronix, Inc. (“Lantronix” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LTRX) securities between May 11, 2023 and February 8, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Investors suffering losses on their Lantronix investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to [e-mail].

On February 8, 2024, Lantronix released its second quarter 2024 financial results and lowered its full-year 2024 guidance by approximately $10 million. The Company attributed the revision to “lower expected sales” as a result of “a general slowdown in [the Company’s] broad-based channel business as customers work through their inventories,” and certain revenues slated for the second half of fiscal 2024 being pushed into 2025.

On this news, Lantronix’s stock price fell $1.89, or 32.5%, to close at $3.92 per share on February 9, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Lantronix overstated demand and/or its visibility into demand for its IoT products; (2) Lantronix's customers were reducing elevated levels of inventory of IoT products, thereby causing a general slowdown in the Company's business; (3) certain of Lantronix's embedded IOT revenues expected from a customer design win were delayed to the next fiscal year; (4) as a result of all the foregoing, Lantronix anticipated lower sales for its embedded IOT solutions for fiscal year 2024; (5) accordingly, Lantronix was unlikely to meet its own previously issued guidance for fiscal year 2024; and (6) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Lantronix securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than April 23, 2024 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action.
