The Gross Law Firm notifies investors that a class action has commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of shareholders of Alight, Inc. who purchased common stock between November 12, 2024 and February 18, 2026.
According to the complaint, throughout the class period, defendants announced disappointing results, reduced projections, and multiple goodwill impairments all while remaining confident in their ability to execute, drive growth, and continue to provide a dividend to their shareholders. On August 5, 2025, during Alight’s second quarter earnings report, defendants announced disappointing results and cut their revenue guidance for the year, resetting investor expectations. Defendants highlighted both a slowdown in annual recurring revenue bookings and a worsening decline of project revenue than previously projected. Pertinently, defendants pointed partially to macroeconomic uncertainty, though they had previously minimized such impact in just the prior quarter, as well as insufficient commercial execution. Following this news, the price of Alight’s common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $5.13 per share on August 4, 2025, Alight’s stock price fell to $4.19 per share on August 5, 2025, a decline of about 18.32% in the span of just a single day. On February 19, 2026, Alight announced a significant earnings shortfall against its prior guidance, alongside further shortfalls for bookings and project revenue growth. Alight’s new management noted the Company failed to “meet our internal financial targets and new bookings and renewals did not meet our expectations, leading us to miss our forecast to the market.” They pointed the blame significantly on the individual defendants’ execution and highlighted the new administration would bring “a change in the execution of the company” in order to “driv[e] operational excellence.” The new management further cancelled the dividend, noting there are “more efficient capital allocation activities,” and triggered an earnings shortfall due to “an increase in compensation expense” in order to “promot[e] service quality,” and overall improve sales execution. Following this news, the price of Alight’s common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $1.31 per share on February 18, 2026, Alight’s stock price fell to $0.81 per share on February 19, 2026, a decline of nearly 38% in the span of one day. Notably, the stock had now fallen approximately $6.85, or nearly 90% over the course of the instant class period.
