What Happened?
On March 12, 2025, iRobot released its fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results, reporting a loss of $2.06 per share on revenue of $172 million, representing a 44% year-over-year decline and stating that 'there can be no assurance that [iRobot's] new product launches will be successful due to potential factors, including, but not limited to consumer demand, competition, macroeconomic conditions, and tariff policies.' Accordingly, '[g]iven these uncertainties and the implication they may have on the Company's financials, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of its consolidated 2024 financial statements.'
On this news, iRobot's stock price fell $3.255, or 51.6%, over two consecutive trading days, to close at $3.055 per share on March 13, 2025, thereby injuring investors.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) iRobot overstated the extent to which the Restructuring Plan would help the Company maintain stability after the termination of the Amazon Acquisition; (2) as a result, it was unlikely that iRobot would be able to profitably operate as a standalone company; (3) accordingly, there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; and (4) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
This press release may be considered Attorney Advertising in some jurisdictions under the applicable law and ethical rules.

Will Starlink IPO Before SpaceX? What Investors Should Know.
Key Points Starlink operates as a subsidiary of SpaceX, and specializes in satellite internet services. There are multiple ways that SpaceX could take Starlink public while still maintaining majority control of the business. Industry estimates suggest that Starlink is SpaceX's largest source of revenue and is generating positive free cash flow, making now an interesting time to consider an IPO. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Be it in investing or life in general, people often want things that they can't have. When it comes to stocks, it's not uncommon for investors -- particularly retail investors -- to fawn over the prospects of owning equity in high-profile start-ups. Unfortunately, these types of investments are generally reserved for venture capital (VC) firms, private equity funds, or accredited investors. One of the most popular start-ups in the world is Tesla CEO Elon Musk's space exploration company, SpaceX. As of this writing, industry research suggests that SpaceX is the most valuable private technology company in the world -- having achieved a valuation of $350 billion earlier this year. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » In addition to rocket ships, SpaceX also provides satellite internet services through a subsidiary business, called Starlink. Over the last few years, Starlink's popularity has fueled speculation that it could potentially go public. But seeing as how Starlink operates within the broader SpaceX orbit, how would such a transaction even work? Let's dig into the mechanics around a potential Starlink initial public offering (IPO) and assess how and why such a deal could benefit SpaceX. SpaceX, Starlink, and retail investors: It's a complicated situation A concept that retail investors may not fully understand is that when you invest in a business -- especially one that is diversified -- you effectively gain a form of ownership in the various segments of the company. For example, if you're interested in autonomous vehicles and want to invest in Waymo, the easiest way to do that is by owning Alphabet stock. Waymo is a subsidiary of Alphabet, and so owning the stock provides investors with exposure to the company's entire ecosystem including Google, YouTube, Google Cloud, Waymo, and much more. Along the same lines, if SpaceX were to go public, investors would be able to buy stock through their brokerage account and have an ownership stake to the entire business (including exposure to Starlink). But what would a situation look like that features a completely separate initial public offering for Starlink? There are multiple different ways that SpaceX could structure such a deal. One option could be for SpaceX to partially spin off Starlink as its own legal entity and subsequently offer a certain percentage of the business through an IPO. Perhaps a more interesting structure would be for SpaceX to create a tracking stock just for the Starlink division. In such an event, investors could buy shares in stock that only tracks the performance of Starlink as opposed to the entire SpaceX operation. The broader point here is that taking Starlink public before SpaceX is entirely doable... but it's also complicated and requires some creative thinking as it pertains to deal structure. Taking this one step further, what would SpaceX's motivation be for taking Starlink public? Does a Starlink IPO even make sense for SpaceX? One benefit of taking Starlink public is that it would provide investors with some autonomy regarding how they want to allocate capital. In other words, by listing Starlink and SpaceX as separate public entities, investors have a choice over buying exposure into a lumpy aerospace and defense business (SpaceX) or a subscription-based, recurring revenue internet services company (Starlink). As a private company, SpaceX is not required to disclose its financial profile. With that said, sending rocket ships to space is a complex, time-consuming ambition. Moreover, space exploration is not exactly a linear type of business. What I mean by all of this is that SpaceX's core business doesn't necessarily have predictable revenue streams, but it requires hefty investments across research and development (R&D) and capital expenditures (capex) on an ongoing basis. According to a report published by Payload Space earlier this year, Starlink is believed to be the largest source of revenue within the entire SpaceX business. In addition, it's also suggested that the overwhelming majority of Starlink's revenue stems from recurring subscription services. With that in mind, Starlink's actual profitability profile is not entirely known. Reporting from Bloomberg has suggested that Starlink's profitability profile is not robust given the high costs of building and launching satellites. But on the other side of the equation, some would argue that Starlink's internet subscriptions help offset the maintenance costs affiliated with low-margin satellites. While the company's precise financial picture independent of SpaceX is not entirely known, I remain optimistic that a Starlink IPO would be well received. A Starlink IPO could represent a capital infusion for SpaceX while still allowing the company to retain control of Starlink from an ownership and governance perspective. In other words, SpaceX can leverage proceeds from a Starlink IPO to reinvest in the core space exploration business. This would permit for more aggressive investments in the core rocket business, ultimately helping SpaceX intensify the competitive landscape with the likes of Blue Origin or Rocket Lab. Given Starlink's reported explosive growth and SpaceX's ability to maintain control over the satellite business, I think Musk should seriously consider taking Starlink public sooner rather than later.
