Extreme Networks, Inc. (EXTR) Securities Class Action:
Extreme Networks, Inc. (EXTR) is under fire from investors who allege the company misled them about its financial performance. A class-action lawsuit has been filed, claiming the networking equipment provider painted a rosy picture of robust organic growth, a substantial backlog, and market share gains that would fuel record revenues.
The complaint contends that Extreme Networks' public statements masked a deteriorating business environment. The company allegedly overstated its organic demand, relying heavily on backlog orders to inflate revenue figures. It is further alleged that the company downplayed the rapid erosion of its backlog while misleading investors about its true growth trajectory.
The cracks in Extreme Networks' facade began to emerge in January 2023 with the resignation of its CFO and a subsequent earnings report that revealed a decline in backlog and book-to-bill ratios. Despite these warning signs, management assured investors that the backlog would remain stable.
However, subsequent disclosures painted a more dire picture. In August 2023, the company reported a staggering $245 million decline in backlog over the past year.
Then, in November 2023, Extreme Networks acknowledged an "air pocket of demand" as it worked through its backlog.
More recently, in January 2024, Extreme Networks slashed its revenue forecasts, citing channel inventory issues and weaker-than-expected demand.
Each of these events drove the price of Extreme Networks shares sharply lower, wiping out significant shareholder value. Law firm Hagens Berman is investigating whether the company's actions constitute securities fraud.
"We are examining whether Extreme Networks misled investors about the health of its business," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
