LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”), a leading national shareholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired MGP Ingredients, Inc. (“MGPI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MGPI) common stock between May 4, 2023 through October 30, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”). MGPI investors have until February 14, 2025 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

On October 17, 2024, MGPI disclosed that sales were expected to decline 24% in the third quarter 2024, compared to the third quarter 2023. The Company also announced it now expected financial results to be below its prior guidance due to soft demand and high inventories.

On this news MGPI’s stock price fell $19.71, or 24.2%, to close at $61.86 per share on October 18, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on October 31, 2024, the Company stated that excess inventories would have an “even greater impact” on sales in 2025 than previously stated, forcing the Company to scale back certain operations to save money.

On this news, MGPI’s stock price fell $8.27, or 14.7%, to close at $48.04 per share on October 31, 2024, thereby injuring investors further.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, 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, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) there had been a slowdown in consumption and oversupply in their products; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
