Class Action Lawsuit Against Krispy Kreme, Inc.

On July 3, 2025, the Gross Law Firm announced a class action lawsuit has been filed against Krispy Kreme, Inc. (traded as NASDAQ: DNUT) for allegedly misleading its investors. Shareholders who bought shares within the specified class period from March 26, 2024, to May 7, 2025, are especially encouraged to reach out for potential lead plaintiff appointment. However, being a lead plaintiff is not a necessity to be part of the recovery process.

What’s the Allegation?

The complaint details that the executives at Krispy Kreme allegedly provided an overwhelmingly positive outlook to investors during the aforementioned period while simultaneously concealing crucial negative facts that directly impacted the demand for their products, particularly at McDonald's locations. The lawsuit suggests that these false assurances were designed to inflate the stock price artificially, deceiving shareholders in the process.

Specifically, it is alleged that the reduction in demand at McDonald's outlets was a significant factor behind the declining weekly sales per store. The company’s partnership with McDonald's was reportedly not as profitable as suggested, which hindered Krispy Kreme’s expansion plans within these fast-food locations.

Emergence of the Truth

The situation escalated on February 25, 2025, when Krispy Kreme released its fourth-quarter financial results, indicating dismal performance attributed to the collaboration with McDonald's initiated in March 2024. The reported figures included a staggering net revenue decline of $404 million, or 10.4%, coupled with diminishing average sales per store as customer preferences shifted.

Following the news, Krispy Kreme's stock plummeted from $9.13 per share on February 24 to $7.13 on February 25. The negative sentiment around the brand continued when on May 8, 2025, the firm disclosed its first-quarter results which reflected a shocking 15.3% decline in net revenues, equating to $375.2 million.

Additionally, the company announced it was re-evaluating its operational tactics concerning its partnership with McDonald's, raising concerns over a profitable business model and consequently withdrawing its previously issued full-year outlook. In a further blow, the stock price saw a steep fall from $4.33 per share on May 7 to $3.26 on May 8—a decline of nearly 25% in just one day.
