Background on Farfetch Corporation
Farfetch is a global e-commerce platform that focuses on providing luxury fashion products. Headquartered in London, England, the company operates as a digital marketplace that offers products from hundreds of different brands and stores across the world.
The Securities Fraud Claims
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions regarding Farfetch’s business, operations, and prospects, including that: (i) Farfetch was experiencing a significant slowdown in growth in the U.S. and China; (ii) Farfetch also faced onboarding challenges impacting the launch of its Reebok partnership; (iii) Farfetch downplayed the challenges it faced and/or overstated its ability to manage its supply chain and inventory; (iv) all the foregoing was having a significant negative impact on Farfetch’s revenue and GMV growth; (v) accordingly, Farfetch was unlikely to meet market expectations for its Q2 2023 financial results or its own FY 2023 revenue guidance.
On August 17, 2023, Farfetch reported its second quarter 2023 financial results with a revenue of $572 million, which was lower than the market consensus of $650.71 million. The full-year 2023 revenue forecast was updated to $2.5 billion, which was also lower than analyst estimates of $2.8 billion and the company’s prior forecast of $2.9 billion.
Then on August 18, 2023, numerous media reported that multiple analysts had downgraded Farfetch based on the Company’s second quarter 2023 results. On this news, Farfetch’s Class A stock price fell $2.15 per share, or 45.17%, to close at $2.61 per share on August 18, 2023.
