NEW YORK, April 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. ("Bed Bath & Beyond" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BBBY). A complaint has been filed against the Company on behalf of investors that purchased Bed Bath & Beyond securities between October 2, 2019 and February 11, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period").
On January 8, 2020, after the market closed, the Company reported disappointing financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 ended November 30, 2019. CEO Mark Tritton stated "[o]ur performance in the third quarter was unsatisfactory" and the Company withdrew its fiscal 2019 financial guidance due to continued pressure on sales and profitability as the Company continues "ongoing work by recently appointed President & CEO Mark Tritton to assess the business and finalize the details of the Company's go-forward strategic plan as well as the extensive senior leadership changes within the past month."
Following this news, Bed Bath & Beyond's shares fell sharply by $3.20 per share, more than 19%, to close at $13.45 per share on January 9, 2020.
Then, on February 11, 2020, after the market closed, the Company issued a press release providing an update on fourth quarter financial performance. Bed Bath & Beyond reported preliminary, unaudited financial performance data for the first two months of the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter (December 2019 and January 2020), including "a 5.4% decline in comparable sales driven primarily by store traffic declines combined with inventory management issues," including that "inventory within certain key categories in the Bed Bath & Beyond assortment was too low or out-of-stock during the period."
Following this news, Bed Bath & Beyond's stock price fell $3.06 per share, more than 20%, to close at $11.79 per share on February 11, 2020.
