Shareholder Alert from Former Louisiana AG Kahn Swick & Foti on Chipotle Lawsuit
On January 3, 2025, Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (KSF) and its partner, ex-Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr., issued an important reminder for investors regarding a class action lawsuit against Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG). Investors who suffered losses exceeding $100,000 by purchasing company shares between February 8, 2024, and October 29, 2024, are encouraged to take note of the upcoming deadline for filing applications to become lead plaintiffs in the case. This significant deadline is set for January 10, 2025.
The pending legal proceedings are taking place in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The lawsuit primarily revolves around allegations that Chipotle, along with certain executives, neglected to disclose vital information during the aforementioned class period, leading to violations of federal securities laws.
Investors, especially those who bought shares or engaged in options trading related to Chipotle during this timeframe, should assess their legal rights to potentially recover their economic losses. KSF offers consultations, free of charge, to discuss the implications of this case and how affected investors might seek redress. Interested parties can contact KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn via toll-free number or email. For those wishing to serve as lead plaintiffs in this class action, a formal petition to the Court must be filed by the specified deadline.
The lawsuit, Stradford v. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. et al., No. 24-cv-2459, tackles several serious accusations against the company. These assertions include claims that Chipotle’s portion sizes were inconsistent, leading to customer dissatisfaction. Furthermore, the suit suggests that in order to address these customer concerns and maintain loyalty, the company needed to enhance portion sizes, resulting in increased costs. Consequently, defendants' statements about Chipotle’s business operations and forecasts were allegedly misleading and lacked a solid factual foundation at all relevant times.
