Robbins LLP Warns Investors About V.F. Corporation Lawsuit Details
Investor Alert: Class Action Lawsuit Against V.F. Corporation
In the latest corporate legal developments, Robbins LLP has informed stockholders of a class action lawsuit involving V.F. Corporation, a prominent player in the apparel and footwear industry. This lawsuit concerns claims made by parties who purchased or acquired V.F. Corporation securities within a specific time frame: from October 30, 2023, to May 20, 2025. This article will detail the allegations against V.F. Corporation and provide investors with vital information regarding the ongoing legal processes.
Overview of the Company
V.F. Corporation (NYSE: VFC) operates in the apparel, footwear, and accessory sectors. The company's portfolio features well-known brands catering to outdoor and active lifestyle markets, including workwear products across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions. As a company embedded in the fabric of casual and work-focused wear, V.F. Corporation has widely invested in its VANS brand, known for its distinct sneaker line.
Allegations Explored
According to the details released, Robbins LLP alleges that V.F. Corporation misled its investors about its business ambitions, particularly concerning the revitalization efforts of the VANS brand. It is reported that during the class action period, the company made claims regarding a significant improvement within the VANS brand due to purportedly successful inventory resets and the appointment of a new president to steer the brand. Specific claims about exciting new product launches and strategies to bolster market presence were highlighted, showcasing positive sequential revenue growth.
However, the lawsuit alleges that V.F. Corporation figures concealed material adverse facts that belied the actual status of its turnaround strategies. Among these was an assertion that further substantial resetting actions would be necessary to genuinely return the VANS brand to a growth phase. Consequently, these concealed realities resulted in substantial setbacks to VANS' previously claimed revenue growth trajectory, raising serious concerns regarding V.F. Corporation’s transparency with stakeholders.
On May 21, 2025, the company publicly acknowledged a sharp decline in VANS' growth, revealing that revenue growth had suffered a staggering drop from an 8% loss in Q3 to a 20% loss in Q4. This downturn has led investors to rethink their confidence in the brand's prospects. Following this announcement, VFC's shares plummeted from $14.43 on May 20, 2025, to $12.15 a day later — a decline of approximately 15.8%.
