NEW YORK--The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of those who acquired Plantronics, Inc. (“Plantronics” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PLT) securities during the period from July 2, 2018 through November 5, 2019 (the “Class Period”). Investors have until January 13, 2020 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that Plantronics failed to disclose that: (i) the Company had engaged in channel stuffing to artificially boost sales; (ii) the Company’s internal control over inventory levels was not effective; and (iii) the Company had not adequately monitored inventory levels ahead of multiple product launches, where the new models would displace demand for aging products.

On November 5, 2019, the Company announced disappointing second quarter 2020 results, decreased earnings guidance, and disclosed that it would reduce channel inventory by $65 million.

On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $14.44 per share, or 36.6%, to close at $25.00 per share on November 6, 2019.

Elrod of Kirby McInerney LLP at 212-371-6600, by email at investigations, or by filling out this contact form, to discuss your rights or interests with respect to these matters without any cost to you.
