    Fitbit claims to be a technology company focused on health-related devices. The Company’s products purportedly include wearable devices—health and fitness trackers and smartwatches—that enable users to view data about their daily activity, exercise, and sleep, in real-time.

    According to the lawsuit, 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: (1) that the Company was struggling to transition its mission and differentiate itself from Apple Inc. and other competitors; (2) that, as such, the Company was experiencing increased competition; (3) that, as a result, demand and sell-through for the Company’s existing and new products were being negatively impacted; (4) that, as a result, the Company’s sales and financial results were weakening, and growth was slowing; (5) that the Company’s financial guidance was overstated; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements during the Class Period about Fitbit’s business, operations, financial results and prospects, were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

    On November 2, 2016, Fitbit issued a press release announcing its Q3 2016 financial results. Therein, Fitbit disclosed it was lowering its full year 2016 revenue guidance to “between $2.320 billion and $2.345 billion,” down from the previously-announced $2.5 to $2.6 billion. On this news, Fitbit’s share price fell $4.30 per share—33.6%—to close at $8.51 per share on November 3, 2016.

    Then, on January 30, 2017, Fitbit issued a press release announcing its preliminary fourth quarter 2016 financial results. In the press release, Fitbit disclosed that it expected fourth quarter of 2016 revenue to be in the range of $572 million to $580 million, rather than its previously announced guidance range of $725 million to $750 million. Fitbit also disclosed expected annual revenue growth of approximately 17%, rather than the previously-announced forecast of 25% to 26%. On this news, Fitbit’s share price fell $1.15 per share—16%—to close at $6.06 per share on January 30, 2017.
