In a significant development for investors, the Rosen Law Firm is calling on purchasers of MGP Ingredients, Inc. (trading on NASDAQ under the symbol MGPI) common stock to participate in a class action lawsuit related to purported securities fraud. This alert pertains specifically to those who bought shares between May 4, 2023, and October 30, 2024, as the firm sets a lead plaintiff deadline of February 14, 2025.
For those who purchased stock during this specified period, there exists an opportunity for compensation without incurring upfront costs, courtesy of a contingency fee arrangement. If you're interested in joining this class action, you can either visit
Rosen Law Firm's website or reach out directly to attorney Phillip Kim at 866-767-3653 or via email at [email protected] A class action complaint has already been lodged, and those aspiring to serve as lead plaintiffs should file their motions by the mentioned deadline.
Why is this important? The Rosen Law Firm emphasizes the necessity for investors to select adept legal counsel with a stellar track record in securities class actions. Numerous firms only act as middlemen, referring clients to others, rather than participating in the litigation themselves. Rosen Law Firm is distinguished by its global representation of investors, focusing on securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Their commitment to this field has resulted in extensive achievements, including securing the largest-ever settlements in securities class actions against Chinese companies. They have consistently ranked highly in terms of settlements achieved, with notable recoveries for investors over the past decade.
This lawsuit revolves around allegations that MGP Ingredients' management misled investors concerning the health and prospects of the business. Throughout the class period, executives allegedly provided materially false or misleading statements. They claimed strong market demand and normal inventory levels in the category of 'brown goods,' which includes popular American whiskies and tequilas. However, this assertion was contradicted by actual market trends reflecting a slowdown in consumption and an oversupply of products. Moreover, the executives purported that steps had been taken to mitigate risks associated with these challenges, suggesting that they were in a favorable position compared to competitors, which was ultimately found to be untrue.
The discrepancy between management’s assertions and the underlying reality led to significant financial damages for investors once the truth became public. As new information surfaced, it marked the beginning of investor losses, fueling the motivation for this class action.
It’s crucial to understand that a class has not yet been certified. Until such certification occurs, investors are not guaranteed representation unless they actively choose legal counsel. Even if potential investors opt not to join at this juncture, their eligibility for any future recovery remains intact, independent of a lead plaintiff status.

This development underscores the importance of vigilance among investors, particularly in the context of their rights and the ongoing obligations of corporate leadership to provide truthful disclosures to their shareholders. Investors are encouraged to stay informed about their entitlements and to act swiftly to protect their interests.
