Robbins LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Organon & Co. Over Misleading Investor Information
Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Organon & Co.
Robbins LLP has recently announced a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who acquired shares of Organon & Co. (NYSE: OGN) between October 31, 2024, and April 30, 2025. This legal action raises serious allegations against Organon for providing inaccurate information about its capital allocation and debt reduction strategies, thereby misguiding investors in their decision-making process.
Background of Organon & Co.
Founded in 2021, Organon & Co. is a global healthcare leader focusing primarily on women’s health. The company aims to improve the health of women throughout their lives by providing innovative and effective healthcare solutions. However, recent developments have cast a shadow on its commitment to retaining shareholder value.
Allegations and Investigation
The lawsuit alleges that during the specified class period, Organon's officials assured investors of a robust capital allocation strategy that prioritized quarterly dividends. For instance, they claimed that maintaining dividends was their “#1 capital allocation priority,” which instilled confidence among investors.
However, the suit contends that while these assurances were being made, Organon was concurrently prioritizing debt reduction, especially after its acquisition of Dermavant. This led to a staggering 70% cut in the quarterly dividend, which was originally set at $0.28 per share, dropping to a mere $0.02 per share.
The Impact on Shareholders
The unveiling of these discrepancies soon came to light on May 1, 2025, when Organon released its first-quarter results for 2025. This announcement revealed the substantial reduction in dividends, which understandably shocked investors. Following this news, Organon's stock price plummeted from $12.93 per share on April 30, 2025, to $9.45 on May 1, marking a significant loss of over 27%. This drastic change emphasized the importance of transparency and integrity in public company communications.
