The complaint, filed September 17, 2019, 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: (1) that large scale online wholesale was reasonably likely to lead to pricing volatility and heavy promotions of luxury goods; (2) that the company's core business was vulnerable to such pricing pressures; (3) that the company would aggressively pursue acquisitions to remain profitable; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants positive statements about the company's busiess, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.



On or about September 24, 2018, Farfetch held its IPO in which it sold approximately 50 million shares of Class A common stock at a price of $20.00 per share.

On August 8, 2019, Farfetch reported a larger-than-expected loss of $89.6 million for second quarter 2019. The company also announced a $675 million acquisition of New Guards Group and that its Chief Operating Officer had resigned.


On this news, the company's share price fell $8.12, or over 44%, to close at $10.13 per share on August 9, 2019. By the date this complaint was filed, the company's stock was trading as low as $10.20 per share, a nearly 50% decline from the $20 IPO price.
