Former Louisiana Attorney General Urges ICON Shareholders to Act Ahead of Class Action Deadline

Kahn Swick & Foti Alerts Investors on ICON plc Class Action

In a recent announcement, Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (KSF), led by former Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr., has reminded ICON plc investors about an important deadline concerning a securities class action lawsuit. Shareholders who purchased shares during a specific period may be entitled to recover significant losses sustained during recent financial downturns.

Important Dates and Information

Those who acquired shares of ICON plc between July 27, 2023, and October 23, 2024, are encouraged to take action before April 11, 2025. This date marks the deadline for filing lead plaintiff applications in the ongoing case pending in the Eastern District of New York. Affected investors are urged to consider the implications of this lawsuit on their rights and financial recovery options regarding losses that exceed $100,000.

The securities class action arises from allegations that ICON and its executives failed to disclose critical financial details during the designated class period, thus violating federal securities laws. On October 23, 2024, the company disclosed disappointing third-quarter results that fell dramatically short of market expectations, citing revenues of only $2.03 billion against projected figures of approximately $2.13 billion—a staggering shortfall of over $100 million. Moreover, the company reported a decline in both new business wins and its book-to-bill ratio, which raised alarms among shareholders.

The Impact on Shareholder Value

The repercussions of these disclosures were immediate. Following the release of the poor financial report, ICON's share price plummeted by more than 20%, sliding from $280.76 on October 23, 2024, to $220.47 by October 25, 2024. This resulted in significant losses for investors, prompting the need for collective action through a class action lawsuit. The case is officially recorded as Shing v. ICON plc, No. 25-cv-00763.
