The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that 2U, Inc. (TWOU) Misled Investors Regarding it Business Prospects

According to the complaint, on February 12, 2024, 2U disclosed that due to the Company's debt "there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern." The Company further disclosed it recognized $88 million of revenue from portfolio management activities (i.e., fees negotiated for early partnership contract termination) in the year and it would assume another $10 million from such activities in the first quarter of 2024 and at least $15 million in full-year 2024. The Company also announced its full-year revenue of $946 million, significantly missing the Company's guidance of between $965 and $990 million, and revealed Degree Program Segment revenue, Alternative Credential Segment revenue, and total revenue, all decreased two percent year over year. The Company also issued full year 2024 guidance, estimating revenue would continue to decline $946 million, to between $805 and $815 million. On this news, 2U's share price fell $0.55, or almost 60%, to close at $0.37 on February 13, 2024.

Plaintiff alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) the Company was unable to sustain relationships with key universities and organizations; (2) as a result, certain degree programs and partnerships failed to materialize or were cancelled; (3) the Company's transition to a platform company would lead to a decrease in full course equivalent enrollments; and (4) accordingly, the Company had overstated the stability and/or longevity of its contractual agreements and/or revenue sources.
