Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Geron Corporation
On March 31, 2025, Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP announced the initiation of a class action lawsuit against Geron Corporation, which trades under the ticker symbol NASDAQ: GERN. This legal action is on behalf of investors who acquired Geron securities during the period from February 28, 2024, to February 25, 2025. A pivotal date for potential lead plaintiffs is set for May 12, 2025.
Allegations of Misconduct
The lawsuits allege that Geron’s management made numerous misleading statements regarding the company's performance and growth potential. Specifically, the complaints contend that the defendants exaggerated their understanding of Geron's revenue forecasts, while downplaying the risks posed by market competition and seasonal fluctuations. Concerns were raised that reports concerning the launch of Geron's flagship medication, RYTELO, presented an overly optimistic view that failed to align with the actual market responses.
Key points raised in the allegations include the following:
1.
False Revenue Outlook: It is claimed that management provided deceptive reports that led investors to believe the company had a clear and reliable growth trajectory, which was not factual.
2.
Market Penetration Challenges: The lawsuit highlights that RYTELO struggled to make a significant impact in the market due to limited awareness among potential patients, conflicting with management’s claims of addressing a substantial need in the healthcare market.
3.
Misleading Growth Projections: Investors were led to believe that Geron was poised for substantial growth when, according to the lawsuit, the reality was far more complex, influenced by various market dynamics and competitive pressures.
