Event Summary

A securities class action lawsuit has been filed against Fortinet by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check on behalf of investors who purchased Fortinet common stock between November 8, 2024, and August 6, 2025. The lawsuit alleges that Fortinet made false and misleading statements regarding its refresh cycle, specifically claiming that the cycle would be lucrative despite consisting of old products that were a small percentage of its business. Fortinet is also accused of misrepresenting and concealing the true number of FortiGate firewalls that could be upgraded and aggressively pushing through a significant portion of the refresh cycle in a short period, contrary to its two-year momentum projection. The lead plaintiff deadline for investors is November 21, 2025.
