Case Background:
On October 25, 2018, the initial complaint in this securities class action was filed against Dycom Industries, Inc. (“Dycom”), and certain of Dycom’s directors and officers, asserting violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. This is a federal securities class action lawsuit brought on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Dycom common stock between November 20, 2017 and August 10, 2018, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Dycom’s large projects were highly dependent on permitting and tactical considerations, (2) Dycom was facing great uncertainties related to permitting issues; (3) said uncertainties would expose Dycom to near-term margin pressure and absorption issues, and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Dycom’s business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
