The Gross Law Firm notifies investors that a class action has commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of shareholders of Napco Security Technologies, Inc. who purchased securities between February 5, 2024 and February 3, 2025.
According to the complaint, defendants provided investors with material information concerning Napco’s overall expected growth and strength in the Company’s hardware division. Defendants’ statements included, among other things, confidence in Napco’s ability to achieve its fiscal 2026 growth projections on back of its ability to both appropriately forecast and execute upon the alleged demand for its hardware products. On February 3, 2025, Napco announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, revealing a significant reduction in hardware sales for the quarter. The Company attributed the decline “primarily … to reduced sales from 2 of the company’s larger distributors.” As a result of the setback in sales, defendants additionally pulled back their long-term 45% EBITDA margin target, as they “don’t know” if the target can be achieved by the end of fiscal 2026. Following this news, Napco’s common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $36.70 per share on January 31, 2024, Napco’s stock price fell to $26.93 per share on February 3, 2025, a decline of about 26.62% in the span of just a single day.
