Lead Plaintiff motion deadline- $ESTC investors filed a lawsuit against Elastic N.V., alleging the company misled shareholders about the stability of its sales operations and revenue projections.
- On August 29, 2024, Elastic reported weaker-than-expected Q1 2025 results, revealing that recent changes to its sales structure. Following this news, $ESTC dropped 26.49%,.
Case Details:
Between May 31, 2024, and August 29, 2024, Elastic assured investors that its sales operations were strong and projected 16% revenue growth for fiscal year 2025. The company emphasized its enterprise and commercial sales strategy, claiming it was well-positioned for long-term expansion.
However, Elastic did not disclose that it had made major changes to its sales structure in early May 2024, particularly in its Americas segment. These changes disrupted customer engagement and slowed deal closures, impacting revenue.
On August 29, 2024, Elastic cut its revenue growth forecast to 14%, citing delays in customer commitments due to sales segmentation changes. Executives admitted that the impact was greater than expected, affecting nearly all teams in the Americas.
Following this announcement, $ESTC stock dropped 26.49%.
Based on these events, $ESTC investors filed a lawsuit against Elastic N.V., claiming the company:
- It misled investors about the stability of its sales operations and revenue projections.
- It failed to disclose that recent changes to its sales structure were disrupting customer engagement and deal closures.
Investors believe Elastic misrepresented its revenue outlook and business stability.
