NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi,
LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in GoPro, Inc. ("GoPro" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:GPRO) of the
January 17, 2017 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action
lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.
The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
on behalf of all those who purchased GoPro common stock between September 19, 2016 and November 4, 2016 (the "Class Period"). The case, Bielousov v. GoPro, Inc. et al, No. 3:16-cv-06654
was filed on November 16, 2016.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or
misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (i) GoPro's Karma drones were susceptible to losing power midflight,
causing them to fall out of the sky; (ii) the Company overstated the utility of and likely customer demand for the Karma drone;
(iii) when the aforementioned issue was publicly known, it would require a costly recall of the Karma drones; and (iv) as a
result, GoPro's public statements were materially false and misleading.
Specifically, before market-close on November 3, 2016, GoPro announced its financial results for
the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The Company significantly decreased its revenue guidance for
2016 to $1.25 billion to $1.3 billion from $1.35 billion to $1.5
billion.
On this news, GoPro's share price fell from $12.84 per share on November
2, 2016 to a closing price of $11.94 on November 3, 2016—a
$0.90 or a 7.01% drop. The Company's share price continued to decline into the next trading day to
a closing price of $11.16 on November 4, 2016—a $0.78 or a 6.53% drop from November 3, 2016.
Additionally, after-market close on November 8, 2016, GoPro announced the recall of the
approximately 2,500 Karma drones purchased by consumers. The Company advised it discovered that Karma units were prone to losing
power during operation.
On this news, GoPro's share price fell from $10.86 per share on November
8, 2016 to a closing price of $10.41 on November 9, 2016—a
$0.45 or a 4.14% drop.
