NEW YORK, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Compass Diversified Holdings and Compass Group Diversified Holdings, LLC (NYSE: CODI) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in Compass you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/compass-diversified-holdings.
Investors have until July 8, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Compass securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and is captioned Matthews v. Compass Group Diversified Holdings, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-981.
Why was Compass Sued for Securities Fraud?
Compass is a statutory trust that acquires and manages a group of small and middle-market businesses. This includes Lugano Holdings, Inc., a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of high-end jewelry. The complaint alleges that the Company's fiscal 2024 financial statements contained material misstatements relating to unrecorded financing arrangements and irregularities identified in sales, cost of sales, inventory, and accounts receivable recorded by Lugano.
The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed
On May 7, 2025, after the market closed, Compass announced that investors should not rely on its fiscal 2024 financial statements amid an ongoing internal investigation, led by outside counsel and a forensic accounting firm, into Lugano. The Company stated that it has 'preliminarily identified irregularities in Lugano's non-CODI financing, accounting, and inventory practices.' The Company also announced that it intended to delay the filing of its Q1 2025 financial results, and that Lugano's founder and CEO, Moti Ferder, resigned from his positions at Lugano and will not receive any severance compensation. On this news, the price of Compass stock declined roughly 62%, from $17.25 per share on May 7, 2025, to $6.55 per share on May 8, 2025.

Can Hailey Bieber Bring e.l.f. Stock Back to Life?
E.l.f's growth is slowing down, and its near-term performance could be highly impacted by tariffs. It's making a number of moves to become less dependent on China and boost growth. Rhode cosmetics is growing quickly and offers several important benefits to e.l.f. 10 stocks we like better than e.l.f. Beauty › E.l.f. Beauty (NYSE: ELF) stock has been through the wringer over the past few years, and it's down a whopping 40% over the past year. That's despite robust growth over that time, and a brand that continues to surge and gain market share. The market has been worried about rising prices and slowing growth, but smart investors can see that e.l.f. has a long, strong future. In tune with that, the company just acquired Rhode, the cosmetics line developed by model and social media star Hailey Bieber. That announcement was made along with e.l.f.'s fourth-quarter earnings report, which beat analyst expectations, and the market gave the company an enthusiastic thumbs-up. Let's see why, and what this acquisition does for e.l.f. A few highlights from e.l.f.'s fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter (ended March 31) report: Revenue increased 4% year over year to $332.6 million, beating analyst expectations of $326.7 million, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.78, above estimates of $0.72. Earnings beats are great, but 4% growth is a massive slowdown for e.l.f., which had been posting high double-digit growth for a long time. A company reporting this kind of growth isn't going to be able to carry a high valuation, so it makes sense that the price has come down in tandem with performance. Furthering the market's uncertainty about e.l.f., management declined to provide guidance. The tariff situation is too unclear, and e.l.f. has high exposure to the impact because 75% of its production comes from China. CEO Tarang Amin said that the company is combating the potential tariff situation in three ways. First, it's raising prices on products by $1. He noted that it's only the third price increase in its 21-year history, and in the past, customers have been able to absorb increases. Next, it's diversifying its supply chain. Amin pointed out that it's already on top of that, because just a few years ago, 100% of production was sourced in China. It's continuing to build out a more diverse supply chain. Finally, it's also diversifying its business. It's making a bigger push internationally, which is still a small part of the whole, but growing faster, with sales up 60% in fiscal 2025. Six years ago, international represented 10% of the business, and today that's reached 20%. Another way it's broadening the business is by expanding the brand portfolio. And that's where Bieber and Rhode come in. I'll admit, I didn't know too much about Rhode before hearing about this deal. But a quick perusal of its product line and reviews reveals that its brand very much caters to e.l.f.'s target market of younger, social-media-conscious customers, and its approach to product development is in sync with e.l.f.'s, too. For example, it sells a popular, patented silicone phone case designed to hold the company's lip gloss. This is in line with e.l.f.'s product line that meets the needs of its particular shoppers in innovative ways. "E.l.f. Beauty found a like-minded disruptor in Rhode," Amin said in a press release. What's different about Rhode is its prices. A big part of e.l.f.'s model, and popularity, is its cheap prices. It prides itself on offering products that compete with luxury brands with some of the lowest prices on the market. Rhode is a luxury brand. That does a few things for e.l.f. First, it helps with the gross margin. Luxury brands with premium prices tend to have higher gross margins. Next, it gets e.l.f. into the exclusive Sephora shops, owned by luxury conglomerate LVMH, giving it exposure to Sephora's global customers. Finally, this could be the beginning of a huge cosmetics company that can compete with larger competitors like Estee Lauder and L'Oreal, both of which own several brands. This strategy works for mature companies that bring new brands in to boost revenue and relevance. Because they're so large and have well-established distribution systems, they can add new brands with streamlined systems and wider margins. E.l.f. acquired skincare company Naturium in 2023, so it's clearly moving in this direction. E.l.f. is the most popular cosmetics brand for teens, and it's been gaining market share while the industry itself has declined over the past few years. The acquisitions strategy is a tried-and-true method to generate growth for companies that are slowing down, and this one in particular brings clear benefits to e.l.f. Rhode has doubled its consumer base over the past year and generated $212 million in sales. E.l.f. is paying $800 million for the company, with another $200 million potentially based on growth. With e.l.f.'s robust distribution system, that could speed up, creating value for e.l.f. and its shareholders quickly. E.l.f. has many levers to pull to boost growth, from new brands to international sales to innovation in its product line. I don't think it needs Hailey Bieber to save it, but this acquisition looks like a positive step in its journey and another reason to be confident in its long-term potential.
