Event Summary

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP is investigating KC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for potential federal securities law violations. The lawsuit alleges that KC Pharmaceuticals made false and misleading statements regarding customer demand, product destocking, and the profitability of its SmartDose device. These issues culminated in KC Pharmaceuticals issuing weak 2025 revenue and earnings forecasts on February 13, 2025, which included the loss of two major continuous glucose monitoring customers and the revelation that its SmartDose devices would be margin-dilutive. Following this news, KC Pharmaceuticals's stock price dropped by 38 percent, resulting in significant losses for investors. Faruqi & Faruqi is encouraging investors who suffered losses to join the class action lawsuit, with a deadline of July 7, 2025, to seek the role of lead plaintiff.
