Verizon Communications (VZ 3.92%), a wireless carrier and enterprise connectivity provider, closed at $42.34, down 3.99%. On Tuesday, shares fell after the Dow Jones Industrial Average removal and restructuring-charge headlines, while investors are watching profitability and the BT joint venture.
How the markets moved todayS&P 500 (^GSPC +0.79%) rose 0.75% to 7,496, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +1.52%) gained 1.52% to 26,214. Among wireless telecommunications services and diversified communications technology peers, AT&T (T 5.13%) fell 5.18% to $20.69 and T-Mobile US (TMUS 3.64%) declined 3.63% to $167.65 as telecom shares absorbed Verizon's removal from the Dow and related profit worries.
What this means for investorsVerizon’s decline followed several company-specific developments. Its removal from the Dow Jones Industrial Average created sentiment and index-related pressure, while the BT joint venture resulted in near-term charges for Verizon’s international enterprise business. Although the joint venture may simplify operations over time, the immediate focus is on the potential impact of these charges on near-term profitability.
The next key event is Verizon’s July 24 earnings report. Investors will focus on guidance, wireless customer trends, free cash flow, and whether recent plan changes support retention without reducing margins. The main question is whether management can demonstrate that restructuring and pricing changes are strengthening Verizon’s cash flow in a competitive market beyond the impact of the Dow removal.
Eric Trie has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool recommends Verizon Communications. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.
Verizon (VZ) stands as the only Dow stock meeting the dogcatcher ideal: annual dividends from $1K invested exceed its single share price, supported by ample free cash flow.

Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said Tuesday that memory chipmakers aren't the only ones to blame for the current supply-and-demand imbalance, which has recently led to price hikes for smartphones, computers and other consumer electronics.
Customers who drove a hard bargain in pricing in recent years also contributed to the squeeze, Mehrotra argued, suggesting that left the industry underinvested for the artificial intelligence boom.
"Certain customers drove pricing significantly down in our industry," Mehrotra told Jim Cramer on CNBC's "Mad Money" on Tuesday. "In 2023, our prices came down to one-third of what they were."
The collapse in pricing, Mehrotra said, pushed Micron and other memory suppliers into negative gross margins, leaving much of the industry without the financial flexibility to invest in new manufacturing capacity just as artificial intelligence-driven demand began accelerating. Micron's gross margin fell to negative 7.3% in its fiscal 2023, which ended in August of that year, according to FactSet.
"Companies were losing money. They couldn't afford it," he said. "That really impacted the investment capability of the industry."
Micron continued investing through the downturn, the CEO said. "Of course, those investments were significantly cut back from the year prior." Micron's capital expenditures fell to $7.7 billion in fiscal 2023, down from $12.1 billion in the prior year.
AI-driven demand for memory chips has steadily increased since that 2023 downturn in pricing. The acceleration became more apparent last year, boosting Micron's financial performance. But it has gone to another level in 2026, propelling Micron into one of the stock market's biggest winners. The stock climbed more than 240% in the second quarter and added more than $920 billion in market value, putting Micron's market capitalization at roughly $1.3 trillion.
Mehrotra said that the supply crunch is likely to persist well beyond 2027 because new semiconductor fabrication plants take years to build and next-generation memory has become significantly more complex to manufacture. To help close the gap, Mehrotra said Micron is investing roughly $200 billion in manufacturing and R&D, including new memory fabs in Boise, Idaho and Syracuse, New York. The Boise project is furthest along, the CEO said, with the first chips due out "in the middle of next year" and increasing from there. The Boise site is slated to eventually include two fabs.
The shortage is already being felt beyond the semiconductor industry. Last week, Apple raised prices on several Mac and iPad models after CEO Tim Cook said soaring memory and storage costs had become "unavoidable," underscoring how AI-driven demand is pushing higher component costs into consumer electronics.
Teladoc (TDOC - Free Report) ended the recent trading session at $8.48, demonstrating a -2.42% change from the preceding day's closing price.

Coming into today, shares of the telehealth services provider had gained 9.86% in the past month. In that same time, the Medical sector gained 7.53%, while the S&P 500 lost 1.82%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Teladoc in its forthcoming earnings report.

In the meantime, our current consensus estimate forecasts the revenue to be $614.69 million, indicating a 2.72% decline compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year.

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of Class A or Class C common stock of Zillow Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZG) (NASDAQ: Z) between February 11, 2025 and May 7, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 10, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.
So what: If you purchased Zillow common stock during the Class Period, you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
What to do next: To join the Zillow class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/zillow-group-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 10, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Zillow's agreement with Redfin Corporation was not a "partnership," but rather an acquisition of Redfin's business; (2) as a result of the Redfin Agreement, Zillow faced a materially heightened risk of regulatory scrutiny and liability under federal antitrust laws; (3) upon the filing of an antitrust lawsuit, Zillow continued to downplay its legal exposure; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about Zillow's business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

On June 30, 2026, Stryker Corp (SYK) shares fell 4.7% to a current price of $314.84. This decline comes in a challenging year where the stock has seen a year-to
Strike just threaded the needle. The Bitcoin-focused payments app, founded by Jack Mallers, announced that its European subsidiary, Zap (Strike) Europe Limited, has received full authorization as a crypto-asset service provider from Malta’s Financial Services Authority. The timing is not subtle: the EU’s MiCA transitional period ends on July 1, 2026, meaning any firm without proper authorization will be forced to stop operating across the bloc.
The MiCA bottleneck The Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation is the EU’s first attempt at building a unified rulebook for crypto service providers across all 27 member states. MiCA covers authorization requirements, consumer protections, and operational conduct standards, replacing the prior system of fragmented national rules.

Out of more than 1,200 registered crypto entities across the EU and European Economic Area, only around 230 to 244 have actually secured full MiCA authorization as of June 2026. That’s roughly a 20% pass rate. The European Securities and Markets Authority made clear there would be no extensions to the transitional period. July 1 is a hard wall, meaning roughly 1,000 previously registered entities are staring down forced operational wind-downs.
Strike’s authorization through Malta’s MFSA gives it passporting rights across the entire bloc. One license, 27 countries.
Strike’s European play Strike began serving eligible European customers back in April 2024, operating under the pre-MiCA patchwork of national regulations. This new authorization replaces that prior arrangement with a single, standardized credential.
The app specializes in Bitcoin-specific services: buying, selling, and payments, with a particular focus on the Lightning Network for faster, cheaper transactions. Jack Mallers has long positioned Strike as a bridge between traditional finance and Bitcoin’s payment rails, particularly through Lightning Network integration. The European authorization extends that thesis to a market of roughly 450 million people.

On June 30, 2026, Cummins Inc CMI shares rose by 3.2%, reaching a current price of $713.21. The stock has experienced a substantial increase over the past year, with a remarkable 121.3% gain. The shares have traded within a 52-week range of $322.45 to $737.76.
GF Value™ verdict: The current price is $713.21, significantly above the GF Value™ estimate of $325.73, indicating the stock is 119.0% overvalued.GF Score™: Cummins has a GF Score™ of 84/100, reflecting a strong overall performance across key metrics.Most notable signal: Insider activity indicates that insiders sold $9.8 million worth of shares in the last 3 months, with no purchases reported. Is CMI Overvalued or Undervalued? The current price of Cummins Inc significantly exceeds its GF Value™ estimate of $325.73, suggesting that the stock is overvalued by 119.0%. This substantial premium indicates a lack of margin of safety for potential investors, as the current price does not reflect the intrinsic value calculated through historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. The GF Valuation label categorizes Cummins as significantly overvalued, highlighting the risks associated with investing at this inflated price.
Investors considering Cummins Inc should be aware of the risks tied to purchasing shares at such a high valuation. As the stock trades far above its calculated intrinsic value, any negative developments in the company's performance or broader market conditions could lead to a sharp decline in share price. Hence, potential investors should exercise caution and thoroughly evaluate the underlying business fundamentals before making any investment decisions.
How Does CMI's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 37.0x 16.1x Forward P/E 24.3x - The current P/E (TTM) of 37.0x is significantly above its 5-year median P/E of 16.1x, representing a 130% increase. The forward P/E is also elevated at 24.3x. This analysis confirms the GF Value™ verdict that Cummins is overvalued, as the stock trades at multiples well above its historical valuation metrics.
What Does CMI's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 84/100 Financial Strength 7/10 Profitability 9/10 Growth 10/10 Valuation 1/10 Momentum 9/10 Cummins Inc's GF Score™ of 84/100 indicates a strong overall performance, particularly in the areas of Growth (10/10) and Profitability (9/10). The Financial Strength score of 7/10 also reflects a stable financial position. However, the Valuation score of 1/10 highlights a significant concern, suggesting that the stock is not priced favorably compared to its intrinsic value. The momentum rank of 9/10 indicates that the stock has been performing well in the short term, but this does not mitigate the valuation concerns.
What Are Insiders Doing with CMI Stock? Over the past three months, insider activity at Cummins has been notable, with insiders selling a total of $9.8 million in shares and no reported purchases. This pattern of selling could suggest a lack of confidence among insiders regarding the stock's current price level, which may indicate that they believe the shares are overvalued. The absence of buying activity further reinforces the notion that the stock may not be an attractive investment at this time.
What This Means for Investors Based on the analysis of the GF Value™, Cummins Inc is currently overvalued. The significant discrepancy between the current share price and the intrinsic value estimate presents a considerable risk for potential investors. Caution is advised for those looking to enter a position in Cummins at this time.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX) faces a securities class action lawsuit after its April 30, 2026 Q1 2026 report indicating a surprisingly large sequential decline in daily active users (“DAUs”) tempered by its age-check rollout. The news drove the price of Roblox shares down $10.13 (-18%) the next trading day and erased over $6.7 billion from the company’s market capitalization.
The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Roblox common stock between October 30, 2025 and April 30, 2026.
National shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman is investigating the legal claims that Roblox and its co-defendants violated the federal securities laws. The firm encourages Roblox investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now.
Class Period: Oct. 30, 2025 – Apr. 30, 2026
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Aug. 7, 2026

Roblox Corporation (RBLX) Securities Class Action:
The primary focus of the litigation is on the propriety of Roblox’s disclosures about the impact on its business and prospects of the age-check verification rollout aimed at increasing safety within certain social features on its platform. The rollout began in November 2025.
Throughout the Class Period, Roblox has characterized its rollout as the “gold standard” intended to be implemented with “no friction.” The company has also touted its high year-over-year DAU growth and related revenue and bookings growth.
As recently as February 5, 2026, during Roblox’s Q4 2025 earnings call, CEO David Baszucki responded to an analyst’s question about additional detail about the age-check rollout, assuring investors that “[w]e’re very excited and proud of the way our age verification rollout has gone” and “we found so many other opportunities for optimization that I’m very pleased and happy about the way the rollout has gone.”
The complaint alleges that Roblox made false and misleading statements while failing to disclose important information to investors about the true state of the company’s growth potential. More specifically, the complaint alleges that Roblox would see significant growth slowdown as enrollments in its age-check rollout would quickly taper, compounding the resulting slowdown in on-line platform communication and resulting in app store rating reductions and a swift reduction in organic growth.
The truth entered the market on April 30, 2026. That day, Roblox reported its Q1 2026 financial results, revealed a steep deceleration in year-over-year and sequential DAU growth, slashed its 2026 revenue guidance (reflecting ongoing shrinkage in DAU growth), and severely cut its 2026 bookings growth midpoint from 24% to just 10%.
The company blamed its adverse situation on just 51% of Roblox global DAUs having age checked and further revealed that “as a result of age check […] we have seen a reduction in app store ratings, and we believe this may be contributing to a reduction in organic sign-ups that typically flow from app stores.” Roblox also said its lowered prospects are the result of “continued friction” resulting from the age-check rollout.
“We’re focused on when Roblox and its management knew of the adverse consequences of the age-check rollout and whether they intentionally misled investors,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.
If you invested in Roblox and have substantial losses, or have knowledge that will assist the firm’s investigation, submit your losses now.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 30, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Roblox Corporation ("Roblox" or the "Company") (NYSE: RBLX) and reminds investors of the August 7, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
According to the complaint, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Roblox's organic growth potential; notably, that Roblox would see a significant slowdown in its growth rates as enrollment in the age verification rollout would quickly taper, compounding the resulting slowdown in on-platform communication, resulting in app store rating reductions and a swift reduction in organic growth. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Roblox's securities at artificially inflated prices.
On April 30, 2026, Roblox announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Management slashed bookings growth guidance down to 8-12% and a corresponding decline to margin expectations. Defendants disclosed the age verification rollout had caused much more significant impacts engagement and organic growth than management had previously suggested and age check adoption had only increased to 51% global daily active users, from 45% at the end of the previous quarter.
Investors and analysts reacted immediately to Roblox's revelation. The price of Roblox's common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $55.26 per share on April 30, 2026, Roblox's stock price fell to $45.13 per share on May 1, 2026, a decline of about 18.33% in the span of just a single day.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Roblox's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the Roblox Corporation Securities Class Action Lawsuit:
What is the Roblox Corporation securities fraud lawsuit about?

As the truth emerged on April 30, 2026 — when Roblox announced Q1 fiscal 2026 results, slashed bookings growth guidance to just 8-12%, disclosed margin deterioration, and revealed that age verification adoption had only reached 51% of global daily active users (up from just 45% the prior quarter), signaling far greater engagement impacts than management had previously suggested — RBLX's stock price fell from $55.26 to $45.13 per share, a decline of approximately 18.33% in a single day, causing significant losses for investors.
Who may be eligible to participate in the Roblox Corporation class action lawsuit?

Consumer cyclical stocks are disappointing investors this year. The S&P Consumer Discretionary Select Sector Index, a collection of the largest consumer discretionary companies, is off 3.8% year to date.
It's not all bad news, as some of the group's smaller names are turning in scintillating 2026 showings. Penn Entertainment (PENN 3.10%) is a prime example. The casino stock is up 48.3%, making it one of the best performers in the group.
Penn Entertainment is soaring and it could extend those gains in the second half of the year. Image source: Getty Images.
A 48.3% jump in just six months prompts investors to wonder whether there's more gas in the tank. Specific to Penn, multiple tailwinds could drive second-half gains. Here are three to consider.
Reason No. 1: Regional casinos are strong There's still chatter about Las Vegas's health, and whether recovery there is a second-half 2026 or 2027 story. What's not up for debate is that even amid elevated inflation and high gas prices, regional casinos aren't being pinched on par with their Strip counterparts.
For investors evaluating Penn stock, customer resilience is relevant because the company recently completed enhancements at some of its marquee properties. Just this month, Penn opened a new hotel tower at the Hollywood Casino in Columbus, Ohio, while debuting the Hollywood Casino and Hotel in Aurora, Illinois.
The latter was formerly a riverboat casino. By coming ashore, former riverboat casinos can add gaming space and other amenities. The Aurora project follows another Illinois riverboat-to-shore transition, the Hollywood Casino Joliet, which wrapped up last September.

The point is Penn is freshening up its roster in a state that's one of the largest U.S. gaming markets outside of Nevada. That's one reason why some analysts say Penn's regional casino business is at an "inflection point."
Reason No. 2: The interactive business is improving Following sports betting missteps, Penn is more focused on internet casinos, leveraging its Hollywood brand. That's good news for investors. The digital unit lost $268 million in 2025, but that loss is expected to dwindle to $20 million this year, indicating that Penn is getting it right with digital gaming.
If interactive losses moderate to that extent or if Penn gets to breakeven or even a slight profit, that'd likely be a spark for the stock.
Another benefit of the iGaming-first strategy is that Penn can tailor advertising to just four states. That's more cost-effective than spending at the national level on sports betting.
Reason No. 3: Industry consolidation It's no secret that the casino industry is awash in consolidation as both Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts International are takeover targets. Penn is benefiting from that trend, and not because it's considered a buyout candidate itself.
First, the offers for Caesars and MGM imply Penn is worth more than its current market price. Second, if both of these companies are taken private (the offers on the table would do just that), that would reduce the pool of casino stocks, putting more focus on holdovers such as Penn.
Third, put this one in the wait-and-see column. Penn might be able to acquire a Caesars venue or two at favorable pricing because it's widely expected that some asset sales will take place due to geographic overlap with Tilman Fertitta's Golden Nugget.
Add it all up, and Penn stock could keep the good times rolling in the second half.
Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, has been walloped this year as the crypto winter has dragged on.
Few investors have felt that more than the Bitcoin-treasury company Strategy (MSTR 6.17%), which is essentially a levered play on Bitcoin.
Just as leverage lifts gains on the way up, it also exacerbates losses on the way down. Strategy’s stock is down close to 45% this year.
With Bitcoin trading below $59,000 per token, as of this writing, Strategy just announced a major revamp to its business model.
Here’s what investors need to know.
Image source: Getty Images.
Building up reservesStrategy rose to prominence in 2020. At the time, former CEO Michael Saylor, who is now the company’s executive chairman, made a big pivot.
Strategy’s data analytics business was struggling at the time, so Saylor decided to use the firm’s remaining capital to invest in Bitcoin. While investors saw this as a last-ditch effort to save the company, the move paid off when Bitcoin, which traded below $10,000 midway through 2020, took off.
From then on, Strategy became a Bitcoin-treasury company, which eventually gained the ability to tap the capital markets for funds to buy more Bitcoin.
Strategy now owns roughly 3% of all outstanding Bitcoin in circulation. It has also sparked a whole new wave of Bitcoin-treasury companies.
Over the years, despite various corrections or dips, Strategy hasn’t sold Bitcoin. But now that is likely to change under the company’s new strategy.
Strategy’s new framework includes five components: A U.S. dollar reserve policy, a revised preferred stock policy, a digital credit securities repurchase program, a common stock repurchase program, and a Bitcoin monetization program.
Strategy’s Board of Directors will now require the company to maintain reserves equal to at least one year of preferred stock dividend payments. Strategy has historically issued preferred stock to fund its Bitcoin purchases without initially diluting the common stock.
The company also plans to repurchase up to $1 billion of its preferred stock to lower annual dividends and up to $1 billion of common stock.

The board has also authorized the company to sell Bitcoin from its stockpile to generate up to $1.25 billion to fund all of the new initiatives under its new framework.
“Strategy is evolving from one-way capital issuance to active capital management,” Strategy’s CEO Phong Le said in a statement. “We intend to move between issuing securities when capital is attractive and repurchasing securities when our instruments trade at levels that make buybacks accretive. This flexibility is designed to create shareholder value, improve corporate performance, and strengthen the quality and market standing of Strategy’s securities in the eyes of investors.”
No need to buy the stockStrategy currently has about $2.55 billion in U.S. dollar reserves. If it sells $1.25 billion of its Bitcoin, it would have $3.8 billion in reserves, which would cover over 2 years of projected preferred dividends and interest expense, not including any repurchases.
While this adds a buffer, I still see no need to buy Strategy stock.
Not only is Strategy extremely volatile and ill-suited for the common portfolio, but it has historically traded at a premium to its net asset value, which has long confused many investors.
Perhaps it had to do with being a pioneer of the Bitcoin-treasury strategy. Still, if you believe that Bitcoin is due for a rebound, which still could happen, I would just buy the token itself.

Investors enthusiastically traded the stock of The Trade Desk (TTD 3.00%) on Tuesday, however for the most part they were selling it. On an analyst's downgrade, many didn't hesitate to unload their holdings, leaving the adtech specialist with a nearly 4% loss on the day.
Say hello to a new bear That downgrade came from Arete's Richard Kramer, who made the move well before market open on Tuesday. He shifted his recommendation to sell from his previous neutral, and set a price target of $11.60 per share.
Image source: Getty Images.
According to reports, Kramer wrote in his The Trade Desk update that the company faces the prospect of market share loss. If that occurs, fiscal 2027 revenue could come in notably lower than the previous year's.
Although the analyst noted that The Trade Desk has new products to roll out to its clientele, it's facing some blowback in the market. The agencies and marketers who use its services are calling for more transparency in those offerings. Finally, Kramer added that management is moving toward a more capital-intensive business model. This is likely to impact profitability.

A time of transition I feel that the beaten-down The Trade Desk stock has been unfairly punished to a degree and the company has done very well in certain respects (such as its persistently sky-high retention rate). Yet it's in a period of adjustment now, and those early glory days of double-digit revenue growth seem to be over (at least for the moment).
I'd be a wait-and-see on this stock; it isn't easy for a business to enter the next stage of its corporate life, and I feel this one hasn't yet proven it's a good investment for the future.

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) between February 25, 2026 and April 13, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 28, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Lucid securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Lucid class action, go to https://www.rosenlegal.com/cases/lucid-group-inc-2026/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 28, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the ZoomInfo Securities Class Action Lawsuit:
What is the ZoomInfo securities fraud lawsuit about?
The lawsuit alleges that ZoomInfo Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: GTM) and certain of its officers and directors violated federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements to investors during the class period. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants issued overwhelmingly positive statements while allegedly concealing the true extent of slowing growth in ZoomInfo's legacy seat-based subscription platforms and weakening customer retention in its downmarket segment. The complaint further alleges that defendants minimized concerns that customers were shifting toward consumption-based usage models and developing internal AI-driven go-to-market solutions, which allegedly masked material adverse trends affecting the Company's business. On May 11, 2026, after markets closed, ZoomInfo allegedly disclosed the severity of these conditions when it announced sharply lowered full-year 2026 guidance, a realignment of its downmarket business, a workforce reduction of approximately 20%, and anticipated restructuring costs of approximately $45-60 million — news that allegedly caused the Company's stock to decline approximately 33% the following trading day.
