What Happened?
On May 8, 2025, before the market opened, Krispy Kreme released its first quarter 2025 financial results, reporting its “net revenue was $375.2 million…a decline of 15.3%” and a “net loss of $33.4 million, compared to prior year net loss of $6.7 million.” Additionally, the Company announced that it is “reassessing [its] deployment schedule together with McDonald’s” and “withdrawing [its] prior full year outlook and not updating it” due in part to “uncertainty around the McDonald’s deployment schedule.”
On this news, the price of Krispy Kreme shares fell 24.71%, or $1.07 per share, to close at $3.26 per share on May 8, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.
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: (1) that demand for Krispy Kreme products declined materially at McDonald’s locations after the initial marketing launch; (2) that demand at McDonald’s locations was a driver of declining average sales per door per week; (3) that the partnership with McDonald’s was not profitable; (4) that the foregoing posed a substantial risk to maintaining the partnership with McDonald’s; (5) that, as a result, the Company would pause expansion into new McDonald’s locations; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
