What Led to the Class Action?

The class action concerns allegations that Grocery Outlet and several of its top executives engaged in possibly unlawful business practices that might have misled investors. On March 4, 2026, the company disclosed its financial results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year 2025, revealing numerous shortfalls against its financial projections:

• - Full-year adjusted EBITDA was reported at $254.3 million, falling short of the previously suggested low target of $258 million.
• - Net sales amounted to $4.69 billion, which did not meet the expected minimum of $4.70 billion.
• - Comp Store sales witnessed only a 0.5% increase compared to the anticipated 0.6% to 0.9% improvement.
• - Adjusted diluted earnings per share were reported at $0.76, whereas the lower prediction was $0.78.

In addition, Grocery Outlet announced a revised business strategy that involves an 'optimization plan' amid their existing restructuring efforts. This plan includes the decision to close 36 underperforming store locations, a move cited by the CEO as essential due to the company’s rapid expansion in recent years.

As a direct result of these disclosures, Grocery Outlet's stock price experienced a significant decline of 27.87%, falling to $6.34 per share the following day.
