Securities Class Action Filed Against Organon & Co.

In recent news, Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP has announced a significant development for investors of Organon & Co. (NYSE: OGN). A securities class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. This lawsuit is particularly relevant for shareholders who purchased Organon shares during the class period, which spans from October 31, 2024, to April 30, 2025.

Misrepresentation Allegations

The core allegations against Organon revolve around the company's failure to disclose crucial information regarding its capital allocation strategies. Specifically, it's claimed that Organon misrepresented its commitment to dividend payments while internally prioritizing debt reduction.

The lawsuit highlights that while Organon publicly maintained that dividends were a top priority, internally, there was a strategic shift towards reducing debt obligations. This divergence in communication has raised concerns among investors who were led to believe they would be receiving stable and possibly increasing dividends.

One of the most alarming actions taken by Organon occurred after its acquisition of Dermavant Sciences Ltd. Following this acquisition, the company drastically reduced its quarterly dividend payout from $0.28 to $0.02—this dramatic decrease of over 70% was surprising to shareholders and contributed to significant financial losses.

Trigger Event: Dividend Cut Announcement

The catalyst for the current lawsuit was the release of Organon's Q1 2025 financial results on May 1, 2025. During this announcement, the company did not only reveal the dividend cut but also reported a general financial performance that disappointed many investors, leading to a steep 27% decline in the stock price. Such a downturn has placed immense pressure on shareholders who now face potential losses due to the company’s actions.

Next Steps for Investors
