The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CGC) securities between May 30, 2024 and February 6, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Canopy investors have until June 3, 2025 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

What Happened?

On February 7, 2025, Canopy released its third quarter fiscal year 2025 financial results, missing consensus estimates and reporting that its gross margin had decreased by 400 basis points to 32% “due to the incremental costs related to the Claybourne infused pre-roll launch in Canada, and an increase in indirect costs of Storz & Bickel vaporizer devices[.]”

On this news, Canopy’s stock price fell $0.76, or 27.3%, to close at $2.02 per share on February 7, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

What Is The Lawsuit About?

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Canopy had incurred significant costs producing Claybourne pre-rolled joints in connection with the Claybourne product launch in Canada; (2) the foregoing costs, in addition to certain indirect costs that Canopy incurred in connection with its Storz & Bickel vaporizer devices, were likely to have a significant negative impact on the Company’s gross margins and overall financial results; (3) accordingly, Defendants had overstated the efficacy of Canopy’s cost reduction measures and the health of its gross margins while downplaying issues with the same; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
