Faruqi & Faruqi Investigates Shareholder Claims Against V.F. Corporation
Faruqi & Faruqi's Investigation of V.F. Corporation Shareholders
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent national securities law firm, is urging investors who experienced financial losses in V.F. Corporation (NYSE: VFC) during the period from October 30, 2023, to May 20, 2025, to reach out to them. This initiative comes in light of serious allegations made against VFC, concerning a noticeable decline in its operations, particularly in the Vans brand segment.
Background of the Issue
In early May 2025, VFC revealed troubling news regarding its fourth-quarter and fiscal year results. The company's stock price notoriously dropped, falling approximately 15.8% in one day after they reported a drastic decline in the revenue growth trajectory for Vans, a brand that was previously expected to flourish. These revelations highlighted that VFC had not only misled investors about its turnaround strategies but also failed to disclose essential resets that needed to occur to reinvigorate the Vans brand.
James (Josh) Wilson from Faruqi & Faruqi strongly encourages former shareholders to come forward to discuss their experiences and potential legal actions they could pursue. Those impacted by these developments have a chance to seek justice, especially as the firm investigates possible violations of federal securities laws by VFC and its executives.
Legal Rights and Upcoming Deadlines
Importantly, investors interested in taking an active role are reminded of a crucial deadline: November 12, 2025. This date marks the cutoff for those wishing to apply for the position of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action against the company. The lead plaintiff will represent the entire class of affected investors, guiding the litigation process forward.
Faruqi & Faruqi emphasizes that any member of the impacted shareholding community can move to serve as lead plaintiff through their chosen legal counsel. Alternatively, they may choose to remain an inactive member of the class. It is essential to note that participation in the role of lead plaintiff does not influence recovery allocation within the settlement.
The Impact of Recent Developments
The aftermath of the company’s report on May 21, 2025, had immediate effects. The stock which closed at $14.43 on May 20 fell to $12.15 the following day, a decline reflective of investor sentiment swinging dramatically due to the previously undisclosed financial hurdles that VFC faced. The firm attributes this steep revenue downfall largely to a strategy shift aimed at eliminating less profitable aspects of the business.
Call to Action
Faruqi & Faruqi is actively seeking any individuals, including ex-employees or whistleblowers, who may have valuable information regarding VFC’s practices. Anyone interested in contributing insights or requiring legal counsel is directed to reach out to Faruqi & Faruqi's office. Direct contact can be made with partner Josh Wilson at either 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).
In summary, this investigation highlights the importance of vigilance among investors and underscores the potential consequences of misleading corporate communications. As the deadline approaches, affected shareholders are urged to consider their legal options carefully and act promptly to ensure their rights are protected.
