What Happened?
On May 7, 2024, DoubleVerify released its first quarter 2024 financial results and reduced its 2024 revenue guidance, disclosing that there had been a pullback in customer spending on advertising. On this news, DoubleVerify's stock price fell $11.79, or 38.6%, to close at $18.78 per share on May 8, 2024, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on February 27, 2025, DoubleVerify reported lower-than-expected fourth quarter 2024 sales and earnings due in part to reduced customer spending. The Company also disclosed that the shift of ad dollars from open exchanges to closed platforms was having a negative impact on the Company. On this news, DoubleVerify's stock price fell $7.83, or 36%, to close at $13.90 per share on February 28, 2025.
Then, on March 28, 2025, Adalytics Research, LLC published a report alleging, among other things, that DoubleVerify's web advertisement verification and fraud protection services were ineffective and that its customers were regularly billed for ad impressions served to bots. The same day, The Wall Street Journal reported that DoubleVerify regularly missed detection of nonhuman traffic despite the Company's claims that it helps brands avoid serving ads to nonhuman bot accounts.
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) DoubleVerify's customers were shifting their ad spending from open exchanges to closed platforms, where the Company's technological capabilities were limited and competed directly with native tools provided by platforms like Meta Platforms and Amazon; (2) DoubleVerify's ability to monetize on its Activation Services was limited because the development of its technology for closed platforms was significantly more expensive and time-consuming than disclosed to investors; (3) DoubleVerify's Activation Services in connection with certain closed platforms would take several years to monetize; (4) DoubleVerify's competitors were better positioned to incorporate AI into their offerings on closed platforms, which impaired DoubleVerify's ability to compete effectively and adversely impacted the Company's profits; (5) DoubleVerify systematically overbilled its customers for ad impressions served to declared bots operating out of known data center server farms; (6) DoubleVerify's risk disclosures were materially false and misleading because they characterized adverse facts that had already materialized as mere possibilities; and (7) 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.

Recreational Vehicle Maker Thor's European Sales Hit By Dip, Cautions On Macro Outlook
Thor Industries, Inc. (NYSE:THO) shares are trading higher on Wednesday after the company reported third-quarter EPS of $2.53 beating the street consensus of $1.83. Quarterly sales of $2.89 billion, up 3.3% year over year (Y/Y), outpaced the analyst consensus estimate of $2.48 billion. Gross profit margin in the quarter under review expanded by 20 basis points year over year to 15.3%.Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.9% Y/Y to $254.8 million in the quarter. North American Towable Recreational Vehicle (RV) net sales increased 9.1% Y/Y, while North American Motorized RV net sales rose 3.1% Y/Y in the quarter. North American Towable RV net sales benefitted from 5.5% higher unit shipments and a 3.6% increase in net price per unit. Gross profit margin improved 200 basis points to 14.9%, attributed to higher sales, less discounting, better warranty costs, and ongoing savings. North American Motorized RV net sales increased due to a 10.9% rise in unit shipments (partly from promotions), though a 7.8% decrease in net price per unit (due to product mix shift and higher discounting) partially offset this. Gross profit margin fell to 10.5% from 11.1%, primarily owing to increased sales discounting. As of April 30, the order backlog for North American Towable RV stood at $634.3 million (-14.4%) and North American Motorized RV came in at $883.7 million (-4.5%). European RV net sales decreased 5.1% Y/Y for the quarter, led by a 12.2% decrease in unit shipments, which was offset in part by a 7.1% Y/Y increase in the overall net price per unit. European RV net sales fell due to a 12.2% drop in unit shipments, partially offset by a 7.1% increase in net price per unit. The price increase included a 6.8% rise from product mix and pricing changes, plus a 0.3% benefit from foreign currency exchange rates. European RV gross profit margin contracted 130 basis points to 16.2% on increased sales discounting. As of April 30, the order backlog for European RV came in at $1.34 billion (-30.6%). The company exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents worth $508.3 million, with net inventories worth $1.35 billion. Long-term debt (net) at the end of the quarter stood at $1.01 billion. Todd Woelfer, senior VP and COO, said, 'As we anticipated and messaged at the beginning of our fiscal year, our North American Motorized and European segments have both seen year-over-year declines in gross margin but still achieved resilient results considering the challenging environments facing those segments.' 'While our consolidated margin this quarter was unfavorably impacted by actions we took to deepen our partnerships with key dealers, strategically, deepening these key relationships is vital to our long-term market position and these decisions favorably position THOR for the future as we look ahead,' Thor Industries reaffirmed its FY25 EPS guidance of $3.30 to $4.00 compared to analyst estimates of $3.59. The company also maintained its FY25 sales guidance at $9.00 billion to $9.50 billion versus the analyst estimate of $9.25 billion. Bob Martin, president and CEO, added, 'Our financial guidance assumed a stronger second half of our fiscal year, and our fiscal third quarter performance reflects the value of our strategies in the currently difficult market.' 'We expect the fourth quarter of our fiscal 2025 and the first quarter of our fiscal 2026 to be challenging. The current economic uncertainty has led to downward pressure on consumer confidence and has negatively impacted retail pull-through. We believe that upon the resolution of this uncertainty, we will see improved consumer confidence and the return of a strong retail environment,' he added. Year-to-date, the stock has declined around 11%. The short float for Thor Industries is 18.33%, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

On September 25, 2024, the investment bank Jefferies downgraded Fortrea from buy to hold, citing perceived weaknesses in the Company's business model as a contract research organization ('CRO') amid pressure on biotechnology funding and that the cost savings Fortrea expects to achieve by existing transition services agreements ('TSAs') are 'not as material as one might think.' On this news, Fortrea's stock price fell $2.73, or 12.3%, to close at $19.48 per share on September 25, 2024, thereby injuring investors. Then, on December 6, 2024, Baird Equity Research stated that '[g]iven our ongoing concerns around the sector, [Fortrea's] choppy history post spin, and lack of clarity on the abrupt communications course change, we cannot recommend an actionable investment (buy or sell)[.]' On this news, Fortrea's stock price fell $1.90, or 8.1%, to close at $21.67 per share on December 6, 2024.

The Company's financial results revealed full year adjusted EBITDA of $202.5 million, well below the Company's previously announced guidance of $220 million to $240 million. The Company also revealed full year revenue of $2.696 billion, which missed previously announced guidance of $2.7 billion to $2.725 billion. The Company further revealed financial guidance for the full year 2025, which projected declines in revenue and adjusted EBITDA, with revenues of $2.450 billion to $2.550 billion and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $170 million to $200 million.

BIS Issues Notice of Intent to Deny Applications for Licenses to
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprise Products Partners L.P. ('Enterprise') (NYSE: EPD) today announced that yesterday, June 3, 2025, Enterprise received notice from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security ('BIS') of BIS's intent to deny Emergency Authorization Requests ('EARs') with regard to three proposed cargoes of ethane to China, totaling approximately 2.2 million barrels. Per the Notice, Enterprise has up to twenty days to respond to BIS with any comments or rebuttals with regard to these affected EARs. Unless Enterprise is advised by the 45 th day after the date of the notification, these denials will become final without further notice. As previously disclosed on May 29, 2025 in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Enterprise with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on the afternoon of Friday, May 23, 2025, BIS notified Enterprise of new licensing requirements for exports of 'ethane and butane, saturated, having a purity of 95 percent or more by volume' to China. This new licensing requirement was effective immediately (the licensing requirement for butane was subsequently withdrawn). According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration ('EIA'), total U.S. ethane production in 2024 was approximately 2.8 million barrels per day ('BPD') and total U.S. ethane exports were approximately 492,000 BPD. U.S. ethane exports to China were approximately 227,000 BPD in 2024, representing 8 percent of total U.S. ethane production and 46 percent of total U.S. ethane exports. Enterprise's marine export terminal on the Houston Ship Channel loaded approximately 213,000 BPD of ethane in 2024 of which approximately 40 percent, or 85,000 BPD, were destined to Chinese markets. Ethane exports destined to China from Enterprise's Morgan's Point facility in 2024 represented only 37 percent of total U.S. ethane exports to China for 2024. Currently, Enterprise estimates that total U.S. ethane exports to China has increased to approximately 290,000 BPD in 2025.
