- Lawsuit Alert: Hagens Berman law firm is notifying Primo Brands shareholders that the deadline to apply as lead plaintiff in the securities class action lawsuit regarding post-merger operational crises is January 12, 2026, aiming to recover investor losses.
- Stock Crash: On November 6, 2025, Primo Brands announced a dramatic cut in its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance and replaced its CEO, resulting in a 21% stock drop that significantly eroded shareholder value.
- Merger Failures Exposed: The lawsuit alleges that company executives misrepresented the merger integration as “flawless,” while concealing severe operational issues including technology breakdowns and customer service disruptions, leading to substantial operational risks.
- Management Shakeup: The new CEO admitted to “self-inflicted” disruptions, further confirming the failures in merger integration, which undermines the company's market credibility and raises concerns about its risk management practices.
