Attorneys Monitor Shareholder Stock Drop Lawsuits Amid IPO Setbacks

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law 

Lawyers anticipate a surge in shareholder lawsuits following a series of setbacks in the US IPO market.

Recent listings, including Arm Holdings Plc, Kenvue Inc., and Birkenstock Holding Plc, have contributed to this year's IPO proceeds nearly doubling compared to the same period in 2022. However, amid a broader market sell-off, many recently listed stocks consistently trade below their offering prices.

According to BloombergLaw, legal experts note that stocks experiencing declines post-IPO may become susceptible to lawsuits alleging misrepresentations during the listing process, even if the drops are unrelated to any misrepresentations. Todd Murray, a partner at Foley & Lardner LLP, highlighted instances where investor expectations were not met, resulting in disappointment and potential lawsuits, which may arise from market-driven events rather than misrepresentations.

We just wanted to say thanks for your work in helping us get back some of the money we lost. We are not by any means rich, but we have saved some money and we have done so through a tight-fisted approach to most everything we do. So losing a significant chunk of money hurt…especially at a time when everyone else was growing their accounts. We really appreciate the work you did.
