- Lawsuit Background: Robbins LLP reminds investors that a class action has been filed on behalf of sellers of ChampionX Corporation (NASDAQ: CHX) common stock between February 29, 2024, and April 1, 2024, alleging that the company repurchased 216,000 shares worth millions without disclosing critical nonpublic information.
- Allegations of Wrongdoing: The complaint asserts that ChampionX failed to inform investors about Schlumberger Limited's offer to acquire ChampionX at a premium, which, if disclosed, would have indicated that the stock was worth significantly more than its trading price during the class period.
- Stock Price Impact: Following the revelation that Schlumberger was willing to buy ChampionX at a substantial premium, the stock price surged, harming investors who sold during the class period, highlighting the risks associated with information asymmetry in the market.
- Shareholder Action Steps: Affected shareholders are encouraged to submit their applications by July 14, 2026, to serve as lead plaintiffs in the class action, representing other shareholders, and they can remain absent class members without participating in the case, underscoring the importance of corporate governance and shareholder rights.
