NEW YORK, July 12, 2017 – Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Northern Georgia on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired HD Supply Holdings, Inc. (OTC: HDS) securities between November 9, 2016 and June 5, 2017 (the “Class Period”). Investors have until September 11, 2017 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
On June 6, 2017, HD Supply reported first quarter 2017 earnings that missed analyst estimates; disclosed the divestiture of one of its main business segments, “Waterworks,” which is the nation’s largest distributor of water, sewer, storm and fire protection products; and announced increased capital investments in its FM segment. Following these disclosures, HDS’s stock price fell $8.46 over two trading days, or over 20%, to close at $32.81 per share on June 7, 2017.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) HD Supply’s full year 2017 growth and operational leverage targets were unattainable; (2) the operational recovery of its Facilities Maintenance supply chain was not going according to plan; (3) the Company was exploring the sale of its Waterworks segment; (4) Defendant DeAngelo, with full knowledge of the undisclosed materially adverse facts alleged herein, embarked on a selling spree of personal holdings of HD Supply stock that netted him over $54 million in proceeds; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about HD Supply’s business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis
