Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP Alerts Investors to Securities Class Action Against 2U, Inc. (NASDAQ

TWOU)

Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP (“Scott+Scott”), an international shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, is notifying investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against 2U, Inc. (“2U”) (NASDAQ: TWOU) regarding alleged violations of federal securities laws. If you purchased 2U stock between February 26, 2018 and July 30, 2019, you are encouraged to contact Scott+Scott attorney Joe Pettigrew at [phone] for additional information.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) 2U faced increasing competition in online education and particularly regarding graduate programs; (2) 2U faced certain program-specific issues that negatively impacted its performance; (3) as a result, 2U’s business model was not sustainable; (4) 2U would slow its program launches; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ statements about 2U’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On May 7, 2019, 2U lowered its revenue guidance for fiscal 2019 to a range of $534 to $537 million, from prior guidance range of $546.6 to $550.8 million, due to declining average enrollments in some of its largest graduate programs.

On this news, 2U’s stock fell from $59.93 on May 7, 2019 to $44.77 on May 8, 2019, or about 25%.

On July 30, 2019, 2U announced a larger than expected quarterly loss and told investors that it would be "tempering short-term growth projections” in an attempt to get on a “defined path to profitability.”

On this news, 2U’s shares plummeted from $36.50 on July 30, 2019 to $12.80 on July 31, 2019, or about 64%.
