Event Summary

A class-action lawsuit has been filed against KBR by Hagens Berman, alleging that KBR made misleading statements to investors regarding a major military contract. The lawsuit stems from the United States — United States Department of Defense's United States — United States Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) canceling its global household goods contract with HomeSafe Alliance LLC, a joint venture led by KBR, on June 19, 2025. KBR had previously assured investors on May 6, 2025, that the HomeSafe Alliance LLC partnership was 'strong' and 'excellent' and would contribute $400 million in revenue for 2025. However, the contract was terminated due to operational issues, causing KBR shares to fall over 7% and leading to a $900 million downward revision of its 2025 revenue guidance. The lawsuit claims KBR concealed material concerns from investors, leading to significant financial losses for shareholders.
