According to the complaint, Dycom provides specialty contracting services through subsidiaries throughout the United States and
Canada. Dycom’s services include program management, engineering, construction, maintenance, and installation services for
telecommunications providers, underground facility locating services for various utilities, and other construction and maintenance
services for electric and gas utilities.
The Class Period begins on November 20, 2017, when Dycom issued a press release announcing its financial and operating results
for the first fiscal quarter ended October 28, 2017.
According to the complaint, on May 22, 2018, during a conference call regarding Dycom’s financial and operating results for the
first fiscal quarter ended April 28, 2018, Dycom’s Chairman, President & CEO Steven E. Nielsen disclosed that Dycom did not
have enough work in hand to absorb the costs it had already incurred associated with its new large projects, mainly because Dycom
was facing great uncertainties related to permitting issues. Following this news, the price of Dycom’s common stock declined
$23.56, or approximately 20.27%, to close on May 22, 2018 at $92.64 per share.
Prior to the market opening on August 13, 2018, Dycom issued a press release revising its guidance for the financial and
operating results for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended July 28, 2018, and announcing preliminary revenues and results
for the second quarter below the previous guidance. Following this news, the price of Dycom common stock dropped $21.62 per share,
or 24.10%, to close at $68.09 per share on August 13, 2018.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to
disclose that: (i) Dycom’s new large projects were highly dependent on permitting and tactical considerations; (ii) Dycom was
facing great uncertainties related to permitting issues; (iii) those uncertainties would expose Dycom to near-term margin pressure
and absorption issues; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ statements about Dycom’s business, operations, and
prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

litigation. In order to be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the
