Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates V.F. Corporation for Securities Claims

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates V.F. Corporation's Investor Claims

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a notable name in the national securities law landscape, has recently turned its attention to V.F. Corporation (NYSE: VFC). This investigation stems from claims that the company's statements misled investors, resulting in substantial losses, particularly affecting those whose setbacks surpassed $50,000 during the stated timeframe from October 30, 2023, to May 20, 2025.

Background on the Investigation

In an announcement dated November 1, 2025, securities litigation partner James (Josh) Wilson urged investors who suffered losses to engage in discussions regarding their legal options. He can be directly reached at the provided contact details, emphasizing the importance of accountability and justice for affected shareholders.

V.F. Corporation, recognized for its diverse portfolio of brands including Vans, has faced scrutiny over its management decisions and communications. The firm reportedly violated federal securities laws by disseminating misleading information. Specifically, they failed to reveal the true conditions of their turnaround strategies, primarily affecting the Vans brand's growth trajectory, which has now shown alarming declines.

The Allegations

The firm contends that V.F. Corporation executives made statements that were either false or misleading. They primarily dismissed the necessary adjustments needed to propel the Vans brand back to its previous growth rates. This deceptive information led to shareholders acquiring VFC’s securities at artificially inflated prices.

On May 21, 2025, the firm issued a quarterly report that revealed a drastic downturn in revenue growth for Vans, with a staggering drop from an 8% decline the previous quarter to 20% in the fourth quarter. The company's results attributed this struggling performance to significant cutbacks enacted to eliminate unprofitable ventures and maintain profitability.

Investor Reaction

So, what was the market's reaction to this discouraging news? Following the disappointing report, VFC's stock saw a sharp decline, plummeting from $14.43 per share on May 20, 2025, to a mere $12.15 per share the very next day. This represents a staggering drop of approximately 15.8% in a single trading day, which sent ripples through the investment community.

Importance of a Lead Plaintiff

In these circumstances, the role of a lead plaintiff becomes critically relevant. This individual is typically the investor with the most significant financial stakes in the issue at hand and is responsible for steering the legal proceedings on behalf of other affected investors. Potential lead plaintiffs have the option to engage attorneys of their choosing or to remain passive class members. Either choice will not affect their eligibility to participate in any recovery efforts.

Call for Whistleblowers

Faruqi & Faruqi also welcomes anyone possessing details about V.F. Corporation’s actions—past employees, shareholders, or whistleblowers—to step forward. Should you wish to learn more about the V.F. Corporation class action, resources are readily available through Faruqi & Faruqi's website or directly via phone.

Moving forward, affected shareholders are encouraged to take action, whether that be as lead plaintiffs or as part of the larger class action, to ensure that justice is served and accountability is upheld. With the impending November 12, 2025 deadline for lead plaintiff designation, there is no better time for concerned investors to reach out and explore their rights and options under the law.
