The Allegations: The Children's Place (PLCE) Allegedly Overstated its Inventory Levels

According to the complaint, on February 9, 2024, The Children’s Place announced its preliminary fourth quarter fiscal year 2023 financial results, revealing that it now expected fourth quarter net sales between $454 million and $456 million, falling short of previously issued guidance. The Company also disclosed that it would expect to incur an adjusted operating loss in the fourth quarter in range of (9.0%) to (8.0%) of net sales, which reflected the impact of “lower than expected merchandise margins resulting from more aggressive promotions in an effort to maximize sales, higher than anticipated split shipments to meet customer e-commerce demand, and increased inventory valuation adjustment.” On this news, the Company’s share price fell $7.25 or 37%, to close at $12.51 per share on February 9, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Plaintiff alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company was engaged in aggressive promotions; (2) that, as a result, the Company’s inventory values were overstated; and (3) that the foregoing was reasonably likely to have an adverse impact on fiscal 2023 financial results.
