Celsius Holdings Faces Class Action Lawsuit

In recent developments, Celsius Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CELH) finds itself embroiled in a securities fraud class action lawsuit. The legal firm Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP has announced that the lawsuit pertains to claims involving misleading statements and mismanagement of inventory between February 29, 2024, and September 4, 2024.

Nature of the Allegations

The lawsuit alleges that throughout the specified class period, Celsius issued numerous false and misleading statements regarding its financial health and operational sustainability. Key allegations include the company's failure to acknowledge the overselling of inventory to PepsiCo. According to the complaint, Celsius had significantly oversupplied its products to Pepsi, leading to an impending sales decline. As Pepsi began to reduce its inventory, implications for Celsius’s future sales figures became apparent, signalling a potential drop in financial performance.

The complaint highlights several critical points:
1. Overselling of Products: Celsius allegedly oversold its products far beyond sustainable demand, leading to a false impression of its financial health.
2. Sales Decline: The lawsuit claims that as Pepsi began drawing down its inventory, Celsius would confront a notable decline in sales, adversely impacting its financial forecasts.
3. Misleading Performance Metrics: There is also a claim that Celsius's reported performance metrics have been grossly misleading, painting a more favorable picture of the company than justified by its actual sales figures.
4. Defendants' Misconduct: The lawsuit asserts that key executives failed to disclose material information that influenced investors' decisions, thus misrepresenting the company's financial position during the class period.

Steps for Investors

As of January 21, 2025, investors affected by the alleged fraud are encouraged to seek lead plaintiff status in the lawsuit, giving them a chance to represent the collective interests of all sufferings due to allegedly misleading corporate conduct. Those who prefer not to take active legal participation can remain as class members without losing the chance to benefit from any future recoveries.
